Sorry, I'm an ICQ man.

Wow, just had a 90's flashback. I had to google that to see if it still exists.

 

"If you’re old enough (and sufficiently geeky) you probably remember ICQ. The Israeli-developed instant messenger, with the green flower logo and goofy "uh oh” notification sound, had 100 million users at its peak.

 

ICQ eventually wilted within AOL, which bought the company a couple of years before its disastrous merger with Time Warner. Now, Mail.ru Group, an Internet company controlled by Russia's richest man, is trying to bring ICQ back from the dead."

I have some extra AOL free internet disks if anyone is interested? [emoji12]

Those make excellent coasters!

 

I wish that my geocities page wasn't shut down. I guess I'll just have to keep using Angelfire.

I hope the security on this site is better than on Ashley Madison, the last thing I need is hackers releasing information on stuff I've bought and forgotten to tell my wife about.

I was going to make a joke about that when you mentioned your netscape email address, asking if that was the one you use for your Ashley Madison account?

Not far off, I've been using it since 1999 for all my eBay purchases that I don't want the wife knowing about. :) :)

ICQ was good before they broke Trillian and when Firefox was Firebird. I just stick with IRC now...

Of course the hard core command line version...I found mine through gopher...
