How can I get info out of this web page?

How do I display just the large number in this web page http://www.google.com/finance?q=INDEXSP:.INX in on my screen or within a tiny window. (1103.17 only - it changes constantly)?
I tried to edit the web page, and even tried Printliminator, but got stuck.
Thanks!
Are you on a mac? If so, then you can use Safari Web Clips to make a dashboard widget with just the number.

Best answer: Another approach:
I made a public Google Doc spreadsheet, and also published it as a web page. There is probably a way to get a totally clean page, and grow the font size further, but this is more of a proof of concept :)

bright77blue: make sure you save a copy of the spreadsheet (and publish it as its own web page) to our own Google docs account, in case I ever decide to clean up my own.
