I still remember my ICQ user ID 208646779 even though I haven't logged in for 20 years.

I still remember my Windows 95 license key.

I think everyone remembers your windows 95 key

Nah mine was unique. Unique enough, there was actually a formula. It was the OEM key that was printed on the upgrade CD that came with my Packard Bell. I reinstalled windows on that fucking shit box so many times that it’s tattooed on my brain stem.

We for sure all had the same XP key 😆

It probably wouldn't work if you did. The last time I looked at ICQ I believe that there was a situation where they either chose to, or were forced to, essentially purge all the dormant/old ICQ accounts.

I don't have all the details, but once I saw that, I just noped out. I can't get back in and look at all my old, now permanently offline contacts? No thanks. I was here for the nostalgia, and I can't even get that.

But I can't remember if my niece's birthday is next month or the month after... And I've been to her birthday every year...
