Most spam I receive is of the usual variety of supplements, etc.. Only occasionally do I get a 419 scam, but I did enjoy last week’s subject line from the “Compensation Head Office”
Dear Prominent User of the Internet
Hey, we’re all famous somewhere.

Kim Komando still has an audience

January 21st, 2007 · No Comments

Back in my early days online, AOL went from the rising upstart (behind Prodigy and CompuServe, which it later bought) to the behemoth…before the Internet wave swamped most of the pre-Internet online services. A few of the early folks with content areas and services on AOL rode the wave, kept building their audience, adapted to [...]

I thought this had been done years ago, since NTT/Verio bought Best some time ago, but apparently not. The company’s [...]

April 6th, 2004 · Comments Off

I just upgraded my wife’s email to Eudora 6.1 and paid for the spam filtering. Given the volume of junk she’s been deleting for years, I clearly should have done this long ago. I’m still using Mail.app because of the (a) filtering and (b) separate email programs is good for a marriage. But I certainly [...]
