Thanks for the script Martin.
Thanks to Christoph Burghardt for the pic at the top of the page.

This page was born November, 1995. (Holy Cow! I'm getting old!)

Now for some cheese:

{September 18, 1998} It is very likely that I will not be able to update this page any further. However, I would like to add a little history. First, you will note that the link to BORN.ZIP is no longer active. I lost the file when I changed ISP's. When I first started this page, Geocities (now Yahoo) only allowed 1MB of data (now they offer 11mb). As a result, I only have a few sound bites on the page (BORN.ZIP had to be located on another server because of this limitaion.) Also, I started this page because there were no other pages about this movie on the World Wide Web. Now there are at least 3, including Martin Eaves' script. These pages are linked to on my page. As I've grown older, I've realized that this is JUST A MOVIE (but a very good movie). There are many other things that influence our lives. However, this movie will always be a reminder of what it's like to be a teenager. By the grace of God, this movie will help teenagers of the present. For those of us who are no longer in our teenage years, this movie will help us to help those who are still going through those years. Via con Dios.
