Seasons1992 Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 Why do I get the feeling you were still using this for your "lady endeavours" Mr. Boyst?
thebug Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I knew this day would come. Oh well, at least I have a stockpile of USR 33.6 modems in case they discontinue them!!!
ExiledInIllinois Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 What's AIM? I was in my late 20s & 30s raising young kids. Is that the thing my niece as a tween loaded on my PC when my sister and her came to visit/watch my 2 year old son when we went to Mexico for my brother inlaw's wedding in 2000. ??? I must have missed this whole wave as I still do Facebook and Twitter. LoL...

Buffalo_Gal Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 I loved aim back in the day. Moved to skype which I hate so very much.
KD in CA Posted October 6, 2017 Posted October 6, 2017 We were still using it five years ago as the office IM tool. It worked fine and was free. Now we pay an arm and a leg to Slack.

Tierlifer Posted October 7, 2017 Posted October 7, 2017 Away messages!! If you think about it, AIM was an early form of texting.
shrader Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 When I read the news, I had to find a way to log in and check it out. Not one friend online
Marv's Neighbor Posted October 9, 2017 Posted October 9, 2017 Thought this was about the American Indian Movement.
