Has the Spam Problem Been Solved?
 

Bill Gates, you big dreamer, you. It was predicted by Gates back in 2004 that the spam problem would no longer be an issue within two years. Some people are seeing a marked drop in email spam in their inboxes, while others (like myself) find it on the increase. The spam is still out there, but whether or not you receive it will depend on who your email client is and how well it handles spam. Gmail had a pretty good reputation for dealing with spam. But it was far from perfect.
