For those of you that for some reason either never get mass messages or completely ignore them, I'm shutting down UIN 16026589 ("Charles (PENTIUM)") on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 18. If you want to stay on my contact list, drop me a line on ICQ and I'll give you the new old UIN. Going back to seven digits.

Yes, there is a reason I'm abandoning the UIN I've had for over a year and a half. I've FINALLY purchased a new computer, and am getting rid of the older of my two, which is the one that the UIN resides on. Yes, it's possible to splice over the files, and I'm doing that for another UIN, but very frankly I think it's time to start new again. I have well over 300 people on this list, the sheer majority I've talked to only once or talk to VERY infrequently. Amazingly a few I've never talked to at all. Makes me wonder how they got on my list in the first place.

I'm going back to a UIN I originally registered way back in 1997 when I got into ICQ. Seven digits, starting with 339... You don't see those around much nowadays!

Anyway, the UPS tracker said that the four boxes arrived in San Jose at an unbelievable hour this morning, so the system should be here today... Off to cleaning my room.

I know a guy whose number is six digits and starts w/ "117".

Waitaminute... This is a new one... I've never heard of having a "mine's smaller" contest...

Mine's a 7 digit starting with '253'... *grin* So, rightfully, mine's smaller than yours ;-)

No, you CAN'T see my picture!

Nya! My first ICQ UIN was 2481988. It is now inactive. Perhaps I should start using it again.....

Yes, that you definitely elevate you to god status in my eyes, Cod.
