Power Steering Fluid recommendations?

A couple of questions that I couldn't find answers to with a search:

First, what does everyone use for their Power Steering fluid? I think the O-Ring How-To mention Dexron III transmisison fluid (which I couldn't even find at the local chain auto parts store). Does this go by other names? Or is there an "upgrade" that helps the system out in any way?


Second, can the fluid be effectively changed by just using a turkey baster to pull out old fluid from the resevoir and refilling with new fluid at every other oil change or so? In the tradition of the "drain and fill" method of keeping tranny fluid fresh? I would assume the power steering fluid gets circulated and mixed throughout the system and this would work, yes?
