The Delphi book never came in useful again, but as a stand it was perfect. On the screen, Linux and conferences, 21 years ago…

      Yeah, I think I had a five digit, but I’m not sure

          Yeah, I thought mine was low and I had a 7-digit number.

          It started with a 1 though, so I was cooler than all those other 7-digit slowpokes 😎

        You were still on in 03? I figured everyone migrated by then, or at least were using Trillian.

        Also, 5 digits? l337

          And then trillian fixed everything, and then Facebook and google broke it again, and then signal kinda fixed stuff, and then they broke it themselves. Or at least that’s been my experience.

        I tried to sell a five digit id in college on ebay when I really needed some cash, and they terminated the auction on me. It was over $200 in mid-00’s money. I’m not still bitter.

        Gosh, I wonder if I could find mine through old backups. I’m too lazy to discover the answer to this question. I just thought it was an interesting possibility.
