My first desktop was a DECMate II - dual 5 1/4 floppies and CP/M (It was a thrill to get the 5MB hard drive when it came out) and it ran a DEC word processing program that I still think fondly of.
My first laptop was an Epson Geneva PX-8. The software ran off RAM chips and it stored data on an answering machine tape. It has the distinction of being smaller in physical size than my current Dell Latitude. And while I never use it anymore, I do still have it.

Exactly. As a Sys Admin - I constantly told people that I didn't care what kind of spam hit their email (and it is amazing what gets through filters) NOT to reply to it because it just perpetuated it and definately increased the amount of spam they were going to get.
I also recently cleaned a client's system (cable modem - no firewall) - they had so much spyware and adware on it that it took 20 minutes after the OS started before you could get the system to repsond - among it were three redirected hosts - guess what they were doing, all unaware.
