This is hallucinated

    Symbian OS 
1998 - 2014 nokia ran the world on it. then the iphone came out. nokia kept shipping symbian phones for 6 more years out of denial. eventually everybody noticed.

No, Microsoft bought Nokia phone division, killed the brand and the OS (they published two updates called Anna and Bella and bricked my N8), published Lumia, some guy kept saying "devs devs devs" but nobody bought it.

Fsck microslop.

Pretty much every text is slop-generated.

I like the idea, not what OP has done with it.

Talking about ICQ with zero screenshots is like talking about Hamachi without talking about LAN parties and how games were played at the time.

Pretty much all articles are just slop-text. Not even talking about alternatives or what has been done in the meantime. For example, ICQ led to AIM and Trillian, which led to pidgin/libpurple, then to jabber/xmpp etc.

Palm Pilot is mentioned, but not Amiga Computers? For me it defined an era. Warez, games, hacking in assembly and Aztec C compiler. Too bad I migrated to MS DOS (yet Turbo Pascal was great), as Macs were unaffordable in Germany.

Edit: A good list anyway. AOL dial tone and AOL CDs. Lol. Spent countless hours chatting to strangers on aol.
