[NTLUG:Discuss] Remembering 1997, NT's Bid for Global Domination

[Matthew Shrewsbury]

Thanks for sharing that. I started working professionally in I.T. around '97 and I personally didn't feel that Microsoft went bad until much later when everything went cloud based. Like anything, the people who run Microsoft make all the difference and their reach is limited when you are in control of your data. Like guns (I hope everyone is in Texas or Florida), we must never give up our data. I have not run my own email server in a number of years but I am now and plan that I will be fully on it by the end of the year. I am unwilling to give up data sovereignty for convenience.

I recently watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp-oXb5dQA

And I was reminded of a younger me and an early NTLUG presentation, NT's Bid for Global Domination.  Originally presented via printed overhead projector slides and then converted to a format that could be viewed via our website.  I still have the originals btw. Anyhow, thought people might enjoy the throwback to the early days.
