1. Is it realtime? b/w How frequently is it updated?
We'll probably make it update once per day or so.

Todd, Just wondering if this was set up and if so does it run consistantly
at the same time each day?  Or is this something you run manually.

It's still something I run manually once a day, but not at any specific time.
Although it would be very easy to make it run automatically at a specific time
(or times) of the day, I still don't trust it 100% (because if a retailer's
site does something unexpected like start including links to 10 billion non-
LEGO pages from their LEGO catalog pages, my scripts could get end up doing
some major messing on their site) but I'm trusting it more and more each day.
What I need to do is put a couple timeout checks and overflow counters in there
in case of scenarios like that.  Then I can trust it not to do anything squiffy
if the retailer's site behaves squiffy.
