The Delphi book never came in useful again, but as a stand it was perfect. On the screen, Linux and conferences, 21 years ago...

Yeah, I think I had a five digit, but I'm not sure

Most people don’t know how impressive that is.

Yeah, I thought mine was low and I had a 7-digit number.

It started with a 1 though, so I was cooler than all those other 7-digit slowpokes 😎

You were still on in 03? I figured everyone migrated by then, or at least were using Trillian.

Also, 5 digits? l337

i had 8 and still have it memorized. it was so good before AOL ruined it like it ruined everything it touched

And then trillian fixed everything, and then Facebook and google broke it again, and then signal kinda fixed stuff, and then they broke it themselves. Or at least that's been my experience.

I tried to sell a five digit id in college on ebay when I really needed some cash, and they terminated the auction on me. It was over $200 in mid-00's money. I'm not still bitter.

Gosh, I wonder if I could find mine through old backups. I'm too lazy to discover the answer to this question. I just thought it was an interesting possibility.

that looks like some old-school ~~GNOME~~ KDE on Red Hat

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

More like KDE. See the terminal icon.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

damn, you're right. i can see the very edge of the K icon
