Question for everybody out there on dividends: Is there a screen that I can do that shows companies that previously never declared a dividend (or did so many years ago) that is starting to recently declare them? (let's say in the calendar year 2002 or 2003). MSFT would be an example, but that's obviously a company that's too big to invest in.

Pull up a multiyear weekly chart of SRZ and it looks like a drunken sailor staggering home. The company itself is generating a modest, consistent business direction but the brokers knock it around. Usually this is a situation where the small investor gets swamped by the Wall Street players. On your cash rich stocks, GTW is the only one I know well enough to comment. Their management responded badly as their business became tougher. I would avoid an investment there based on that alone (i.e. building brick and mortar storefronts when no one else was dumb enough to make that move).
