Beat Spam By Not Using Email 314
judgecorp writes "We had a press release - by post of course - about a scheme that eradicates spam and viruses. It's not email, oh no. It's digital mail or dmail, a private system that no one else can send messages to. Assuming it's genuine (and the PR person is called Mike Hardware) it uses XML and SQL to build a 1980s bulletin board, to sell to niche markets (such as very close-knit families). Our story is here, and if you don't hear from us again, it's because we are busy emailing ourselves with our two free dmail addresses. Peter Judge, Techworld"

I know I don't speak only for myself. Really, how could anyone ever forgo the art of a well-crafted letter, scribed with a feather quill, and sealed with wax warmed by a smoky taper?
I hardly think that email will ever catch on. In fact, the very idea fills me with mirth! RFLOL!
