I had all but forgotten about DEC. And I grew up 10 miles from their HQ.

This guy should have been summarily executed. Could have nipped it all in the bud.

The first e-mail I ever sent was in 1985. There were websites, text based, and you tabbed from field to field for your queries. Sent it from London to Irvine, CA.

I hate spam. It is foul tasting.
No lips which have touched spam will touch mine.
The same goes with tripe.

I recall the Usenet spam from those two immigration attorneys in the early '90s. They were who began to make spam an industry.
Immigration attorneys and spammers. A perfecta for defining a useless human being.

I actually used a TOPS-20 machine while taking graduate classes at the Univ of Texas-Arlington during early 80s. I also used VAX/VMS systems 750, 780, 785 while working in the aerospace industry.
Thought my VMS days were long over, but started working for a large bank a couple of years ago. One of the systems I support is a VMS machine. There is a substantial project going on now as part of the migration of all those batch jobs to unix or WinDOz in the next couple of years. This is due to the fact that VMS will no longer be supported. Compaq purchased DEC several years ago, then HP purchased Compaq, who announced some time back that the VMS OS was soon for the door.

If we go to a cost per email model, spam will end. I’m willing to pay.
