It's a Sign: "Avoid ICQ"...

by Sniffer | posted on 06 May 2008


There's an IM system I was told to try out. It will link you simultaneously to Yahoo! and AIM and ICQ and even (it says here) ICQ. So I decided to follow up the tip.

Downloading Miranda took two goes. Next, it tried to sign up all my friends, starting with ICQ. I've not heard of ICQ since I was a kid with my first modem, but it apparently still exists, and Miranda offered to set me up with an ID. Bingo! straight through to ICQ's web site!

I registered.

It said it was mailing me with confirmation details. It didn't. And then it posted the message above: "Congratulations, Your new ICQ Number is 0."

Next Miranda tried to connect to Yahoo! - and failed completely.

It's a Message From On High, saying: "Get on with real work, Mouse..."
