    Worked in a stationers over 20 years ago, still remember the barcode for this one pencil eraser we sold all the time that would never scan - 4007817526040.

    … Still can’t remember a single damn birthday or important appointment. Why, brain, why?

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

            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.

        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…
