I really really miss the 90s computing environment. I was young but it was a total wild west and the internet was beautiful and totally open. For a curious kid without a lot of friends it was amazing.
Got locked out of my OG ICQ years ago and can’t get access back because I can’t prove it’s mine with a copy of my id or birthday (obviously, not even sure I entered anything…)
My icq number is locked forever although I still remember it to this day.
For a while I had the icq incoming message sound for texts on my phone but that sound got obnoxious real quick, even though I had good memories associated with it. “UHOH!”
