Ha…Windows XP Vista, that’s gotta be the first application that needs two operating systems to run.

Sweet, but it apparently needs a huge amount of system resources...

I still use ICQ, although I don’t really notice when I am using it. Having Adium (or some other IM-Client that supports multiple protocols and accounts), the way you communicate doesn’t really matter. Of some of my collegues and friends, the only remaining valid coordinate is the ICQ UIN

Btw, my ICQ UIN is 9661836

Fond memories of chatting with my college buddies freshman year (1997) over ICQ. Then along came AIM, and ICQ was forgotten.

I actually don’t think I ever knew my ICQ number. It was always one of those things that I had to look up mostly because I didn’t use the service for that long. I think shortly after trying out ICQ I switched over to MSN Messenger and then to Google Talk when it was released.

I actually just searched it and it still exists though I have no clue what the password is and the email address I had at the time is expired. I have no idea why I remember it. I guess it’s just one of those random things that just pop in your head every now and then.

How on earth did you remember your number? I wouldn’t have the slightest clue what mine was. Other than I know it started with a 6.

64691402 – my first ICQ number. I think I was still running Windows 95 at that point.
