The 90's were a magical time in movies, media and the emergence of the web.

It was a decade that created a new visual paradigm which was never sure on where the future would land, so it dreamed big and some of the interfaces were even bigger.

This is a place to share the visual flare that was the 90's.

I still have my second ICQ number memorized. I had a low 7-digit one before that, but I lost the account password.

I was kinda a big deal, ngl.

Edit: Also, wasn't it ICQ (or was it MSN Messenger) that had the live chat option where you could see the other person's text box as they were typing? You could anticipate the end of their sentences and start typing while they were typing. Or you could insult your friend then delete it cheekily and pretend it didn't happen.

If you couldn't type fast enough, you got left behind. I think 80% of my typing training was that chat app.

The 90s online was a magical time. (And this updated ICQ 2001 interface is way too feature-rich.)
