DTS-Less and Jobless Approach to Table Freshness

How about getting the data when the table data is first queried?  The following script checks to see if the specified table (@MyTable) has been updated today.  If so, just return the data found.  If not, then get the data from a "fresher source".  Great for ASP that performs table reporting and needs "baked daily" fresh data.
SQL2K only.
