What I, and I feel that Ronan is probably of the same idea, would like
to see is the raw datastream as it comes to your application, that is
what we need to see in order to figure out how to best handle it. The
screens are processed by your app. and would demand that screen scrapes
be done and it gets messy. If you can get a copy of the data as it comes
in to your app that would be what we want to see.
