Terry Crowley may today be hard at work focusing on the advanced features and capabilities which will be part of Office 14, but he was also deeply involved with the early history and evolution of the early Internet.  Join us as he shares with us his reflections of the Internet, the origins and evolution of FrontPage, experiences in Office, and his expectations for where this technology is leading us. The venerable Robert Hess conducts this interview. Low res file. Zune file. MP4 file.

my first modem was 300 Baud.

I recall hearing on Genie and BBS's of this thing called "The Well" that seemed to be an "Elite Place".

When GIF was all Compuserve and users had email names like "36467354"

and finding my first dialup's that connected to UNIX boxes....

and then Getting TCP/IP over PPP for 19.95 a month.

and running support for an ISP and training about 20 guys/gals how to fix dialup problems for folks with all kinds of hardware and OS'es

Windows 3.1,NT 3.5, WIn95-98, OS/2, Mac 6 /7
and all that fun stuff....

and having some lady say I was full of it when I told her to call US Robotics, she had an expensive modem/fax card that did fax ok and did 28.8 ok but was not doing the early 56K stuff right.

then getting her on the phone a month later for a different support call and having her say she was sorry, that USR told her I was right Big Smile

BBS systems and paid out the nose to be HST compliant.
I'm still experiencing Frontdoor withdrawal too. Embarassed 
Anybody remember the Visual Basic Depot?
Most all of my VB, C and C++ files are still available on Walnut Creek CDs.
I never got paid for any of it.
