I was on social media before web browsers existed. I am Legion.

I had an icq number in the 184000 range. :) Bragging rights!

Every time this topic comes up, I feel very nostalgic. Of course the tech was not as good, but the internet was free of big tech.

I was using netscape as my first web browser.

I have a 5 digit steam ID, made on the 3rd day steam existed. Back when we all hated thebconcept.
My steam account dates from the release of the Orange Box. That was a few years after launch, because back at the beginning Steam was only for Valve games and those weren’t really my jam. But, the Orange Box was a great deal. So, I bought it (retail version) and then I had to register a Steam account.
