90% spam? Hotmail? My hotmail is like that but on my clandestined mac.com address I get no spam. I suppose that will change once people start using random account-name generators on mac.com, but that will still only amount to a handful of spam a week, most likely. I only give that e-mail out to friends and family. If I don't think hard, that's probably all I could think of to...but I use the internet all the time, even when I'm not using in directly.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Not Hotmail or Yahoo Mail (only idiots use them...and the spammers). It's my regular 7 year old email address. I guess when I was out of work I tended to be suseptible (sp) to "work at home" schemes and paid the price. But hopefully after upgrading to 10.2's Mail I'll get some of that shit cleared up.
But honestly, most of my friends either:
1. Don't have a computer. :eek:
2. Have one, but never check their mail or write one.
3. Got a new Mac last year and lost their .mac mail account and won't pay for their new service.
...including me. Bummer. Just when everything costs money on the web...I'm broke.

What's the Mac in that photo? PowerMac 7200? It's the same monitor as my 6200 had, but that had the CD Rom on the left.
