It is hard to imagine a time when the internet wasn’t a part of our lives. It has been over a decade since the Web transformed the Internet from an academic exercise into a common household name.
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.
