"Out of Stock" Page Checker

I just made a little utility for myself in Flash. Basically, it lets you check a number of web pages for a specific string, such as "not currently available". I made this for those of us who may be looking for out of stock items and want to know the moment they become available (*cough* Nintendo Wii Remote *cough*). You can find it here. Basically you just enter a URL to the item and the "out of stock" text (note: you could also enter the name of a gif if the out of stock notice is an image). It assumes that when this text goes away, the item is in stock. It re-checks the pages every minute and beeps if it finds something. Your list of sites is saved on your computer so it will be there next time you come back (I need to add a way to delete sites.. hmm). Enjoy!
Speaking of utilities: Have you ever wanted to save something from a website (like an .mp3) but Internet Explorer keeps opening the link instead of allowing you to save it? You can use this page to get yourself a link that you can right click on.

UPDATE: I finally got an extra Wii-mote off amazon.com after several days of obsessive checking. I'm glad I didn't cave in and buy one off ebay - those scalpers don't deserve to make a profit by making these things hard to find for the rest of us. Now I need to find the nunchuck attachment...
