SPAM TURNS 30-YR-OLD

see the deccan chronicle news .....
Spam, the scourge of the Internet, is celebrating its 30th birthday. According to tech historians, the first spam message was sent by a marketing executive of a computer firm on May 1978 to users of Arpanet, an earlier form of the Internet. The spam was relatively innocent and welcomed the users to the showroom to see the firm’s new range of computers. Though spam is over 30 years old, it was given its name only 15 years ago by Joel Furr, an administrator of Usenet, to refer to unsolicited bulk messages. At present, spam is pervasive danger for Net users. It is believed that about 90 percent of all emails are spam.
