may 3, 1978 - First spam is sent
Description:
Gary Thuerk sends the first unsolicited email to all users on the US West Coast network, at that time 600 people. However, he did not have any bad intentions, but simply wanted to invite these tech-savvy users to a demo of the DEC lineup he was working for, and preferred to add all the addresses at once rather than sending the emails one by one.
