I remember using ICQ when I was sixteen to search for girls aged 14 – 17 in Maryborough and Hervey Bay who I could talk with.  I would send a message saying hello, and list some of my interests and passions, and then I would wait in anticipation for the sharp ‘uh oh’ from ICQ to say that a message had arrived.  Ah, a lonely teenager!
