I was poking around today, and I noticed that Microsoft Excel has a data import
function that can suck the data right off web pages.. It just needs a URL!
The Open Office equivalent seems to be able to do the same thing.
And, there is a 'Refresh' function that you can set up to reload the data as often as you want.
Excel pulled in just about everything on the CAI status page. (see pic above)..

This means that someone who knows Excel should be able to reformat
the data, do math operations, like averages and display plots etc..
