Hey Jeff and others who've responded privately... thanks for the info... 

I think I've narrowed it down to www.eoddata.com ... cheap, pretty good symbol coverage, automatable ftp, all the adjustment data and symbol lists etc.... the suggestion for eoddata came from this pretty helpful little site... http://blog.fosstrading.com/ thanks to the blogger. 

I'm just about to get a platinum membership (go big or go home!!).  I'd be into hearing if anyone has good/bad experience with them and if any code is available to interface with R.

Happy Holidays to All!  

And please forgive this technically non-R-technical conversation.

Nick
