Curiosity killed the ICQ apparently.

So, I've used Yahoo as my primary IM client for years and years now. It handles video, it logs, it does everything I could want. For free. Ever since Trillian, back in the 2.0X days dropped constant updates, I stopped using it. Well, I'm moving back to Trillian now because Astra looks to be awesome, and while Digsby is a great concept and is a decent chat-only tool, it's soooooooo obviously just out of alpha stage it's not very .... feature rich yet. Anyway. I used to have ICQ #3245585, yes, that's how old my account was with them. Now, I couldn't get the bevy of passwords I used back then to work. Finally checking on ICQ.com, and I find that my account was turned over to someone in Hungary. Apparently, I have to log in with it more than once every 4-5 years. :)

I've become interested in trying Trillian Astra, mostly since Yahoo! has started telling me my YIM program is out of date everytime I load Trillian 3.1.

I've downloaded it and everything.. you'll have to tell me how you like Astra and I'll probably remember to install it.

Heh, my own ICQ number has 8 digits, also fairly old but not as old as yours.. though now I'm hoping it's still mine..
