> So this is the great-granddaddy of them all? Huh. Even if it isn't that good, I *still* would like to know if there's a QuickTime movie or some such available somewhere, so I can see what people (like Kiki's Dad) are raving about.

Here 'tis; the script and a few screen captures are on the page linked below, and near the bottom of that page is a link to the QuickTime movie.

As always, a quick Google search did the trick. :)
