Spam is one of the most hated elements over the Internet. I don’t know how much you hate spam. But someone really hates it so much, what he does is to have a much more materialistic way of killing spam. Bill Shackelford really hates spam so much, which he created a machine called SpamTrap, which will destroy spam in a much more materialistic way. The SpamTrap is a machine that prints incoming spam emails and then send it directly into a paper shredder, where all the spams get shredded there. The SpamTrap is made up of a Pentium II computer, which is connected to wireless network, personal printer, personal shredder, aluminum rails. Of course, SpamTrap is installed with a couple software such as email clients, spam filtering, antivirus, auto-printing software and also a SpamCop account. Other than this, the guy also created “SpamTrap email addresse”, which he uses this email account to register on any online bulletin boards or forums to lure spams. The SpamTrap is currently a prototyping project, which shouldn’t carry any commercial value. As I don’t think there is someone out there would buy this product and wanna to waste tons of papers simply for the sake of printing out all the spams and then destroying them immediately, to throw their anger against spams.

Well, this creation looks great in battling spam but it really does not necessary to sacrify trees just for the sake fo spam killing ritual.
Great idea but bad approaches. (Catch idea but worthless). I doubt that there is a market for it since people around the globe is trying to save the forest.
