30 years of Spam - and we ain't finished yet

 

Spam celebrates its 30th birthday on Saturday (3 May).

 

On that day in 1978, 393 Arpanet subscribers were sent what's reckoned to be the first ever spam email1 in history (the

 

message itself was written on 1 May 1978).

 

In January 2004, Bill Gates predicted that spam email would be eradicated as a problem within 24 months. Gates outlined a

 

three-stage plan to eradicate spam within two years
