No, i'm not going to discuss the
history of icq here. I'm talking about the history icq keeps of all your messages. Aside from
everything, that history has to be my favourite thing to
crack open and take a walk through.
I have messages back from October 1998, and it's just amazing slogging through there and seeing how my mind worked 3 years go. The amount of things written is stupendous and the amount of time it takes me to find anything in there is incredible. It's like a mini-everything in itself.
I recently started using MSN more often, and although it seems like a very nice service, and is incredibly less bloated then icq, it doesn't automatically log your conversations for you. A pity indeed.
