There is no obvious way of doing this, since the date of modification
does not need to be stored.

You could do it by periodically checking the web page and creating a
'checksum' of the pages contents. If the page changes, even by a single
character, the checksum would change.

This would take me only a few minutes on a UNIX/Linux computer, using
the utilities 'wget' (to download) and 'md5sum' (to generate a checksum)
and a little script to do it.

I would not know how to do it in vista, but i suspect it could be done
the same way.
