Bob,

I get my data from AOL in the Historical Quotes section. Using the Metastock format preference, I download to a data folder then load the quote file into AsciiConvert v1.8 (by Informatik Inc.) to reformat the quotes so they can be used in Parity. It all takes a min. or two for each stock and of course you need to have (and pay for) AOL. AOL has data on all NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ NNM, smallcap and BB stocks going back to 1/2/87 and the dow, s&p and other indices back to 1/2/77. The availability of data is pretty cheap actually, even though you DO have to put up with AOL at $20/month.

For mass stock chart downloading I also have Investor Insight. One of Intuit's quicken products. I can download 55 charts every 10 minutes for $20/month. I use II to surf charts for candidates to run TA on with Parity. Once I have 55 new ones downloaded (they go back 6 yrs) I can click through them at a pace of 1 every few seconds as I look for several chart patterns that I like best. If I push it, I can go through 3 or 4 hundred charts in a weekend. Of course, Instock and Sergio require that I get as much as I can before Friday or Sat. to give them time to research a final choice by Monday AM but otherwise it's a great system.
