I’m old, but I know what ‘spam’ is on the computer. I just wondered why unwanted email was called ‘spam’, so I ‘googled’ it and found out. A comedy group called ‘Monty Python’s Flying Circus’ had Viking characters chantng ‘spam, spam’ in a sketch, and drowning out other conversations. Then the term became associated with annoying email in 1993. Strange, huh?
