Does anyone still use ICQ?
I still remember my old number from 1997!! Downloaded it for shits and giggles- it still has some people I used to chat with on there- no idea who they are! :-)

2. No, I use Odigo, but after your post I drummed up my old number
was amazed to see how many people on my buddy list are completely unfamiliar to me. I had no idea I knew so many people in Europe and so few in the States :) This was back around 1996-8, when I was traveling a lot more. Man, I wish I had that job back.

Odigo isn't great, but it works as well as ICQ (for what that's worth), you can run ICQ / AIM / Yahoo through it, and if you use their Express version you don't even have to download anything (http://www.odigo.org/), so I can use it from work.

9. I've been on computers since I was 6
my favorite game was "bass champ" It used only 5 colors- red, blue, green, black and white. It ran on my old 286. Never had Apples or Macs. Always a DOS girl.

10. No.
I no longer regularly correspond with the only person I talked to via ICQ. So what's the point?
