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.

“Spam Musubi”
That would be very tasty dish if it didn’t have that tasteless Japanese style rice, spam, and that nasty seaweed.

Immigration attorneys and spammers. A perfecta for defining a useless human being. Add "Family Law Professionals" (attorneys, judges, social workers) and you've hit the trifecta.

Enlargement and all that. As you imply, that's still what most spam is about.

This guy should have been summarily executed. Could have nipped it all in the bud. It would have been like killing Hitler on April 20, 1889. No one would have understood what evil you were stopping.

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.

My husband loves Spam Musubi, that is he did until he got sick shortly after eating some the last time we were in Hawaii.
