  I had Prodigy, and Prodigy assigned your user IDs as a random string of letters and numbers.

  Oh ... back in the roleplaying days.  GrymReapyr was my first when it was limited to 10 characters.  When they later extended it I used TheeAbomination.  Played a Setite vampire.

  I never used AIM but I think I still remember my old ICQ number from way back when.

  Fun fact: My personal email address (Hotmail) is 21 years old. I set it up when I realized that I wasn't going to be able to keep my .edu address from college much longer :P

  Ok wow I feel old now.

  I remember using AIM as well as ICQ and a few other chat programs but I don't remember the handles I used.  I do however still have my first ever email account I made back in 1995.  I have lost some of the other email accounts I made over the years but I still have my first email account :) 

   

  Yea!!! Dorkiness is still alive and proud :)

  I used to love ICQ. I spent many hours chatting to random people when I was a teenager. Never used AIM though the MSN chat application was more popular here.

  ICQ had some features that made talking to random people so easy. Some of the things I used to talk about make me cringe hard.
