screen-scraping

We're using iMacros to fill web forms. Does anyone know how many instances of iMacros can be run at the same time on a PC?

If I need to automatically fill web forms for screen scraping, is there a better tool if I need "tons" of instances to run simultaneously?

Thanks.

Hi all: I know there must be ways to do this sort of things. I am not pro in RoR or Python, not even an expert in PHP.
