    Lol… I remember the time before my friend…

    I’ve been employed in the technology industry for the last 27 years though and it definitely started before Y2K.

      Well, I was not that far off. ‘Spamford’ Wallace founded “Cyber Promotions” on 1997. While there have been unsolicided emails even way before that, they had not been an issue: Whoever did them got a clue-by-four from the network community and that’s it. SPAM started to be a problem with ‘Spamford’ Wallace.

        That is accurate… Also the same year I started my I.T. career.
