When you say SPAM, it had better mean canned luncheon meat
Jason Perlow: I can certainly understand why Hormel would not want to associate itself with unwanted email messages. Let's face it, we all hate Spam, and though I do not enjoy the SPAM gelatinous processed pork product, many people do. So after all these years, I think Hormel deserves a break. Maybe we need a new word for Bulk Unsolicited Email Messages.
TalkBack Can we give Hormel a break and find a new word for Spam?

Simon Hensby is a successful "failure" in my eyes. He gave up his regular job because his autistic kid was having trouble and could not cope in regular school. He lived on part-time jobs just to keep going.

In the meantime he was creating useful educational software that an autistic child could use. Now millions of people and schools enjoy what he sacrificed to create!

Now to me that is success! SEE MORE AT SCHOOLGENIUS
