How bad is it?

How bad is the spam problem on that hotmail account? I checked my email around 11AM Saturday, then spent a busy day with various errands to run, a fantasy hockey draft to attend, and spent some time with family and friends. Got up Sunday morning, turned on the PC and had 139 meesages in my Junk Mail folder on the hotmail account. In a little less than 24 hours, that many spam emails had come into that account. Now add that to last week’s situation where, over the course of being away from my PC for two days to travel to Chicago for our anniversary, my hotmail account went over the 2MB space limit, mainly on the back of 360-ish messages in my junk mail folder. That, my friends, is a text-book case of an account being spammed to the point of making it useless.
