A lot of the messages I've seen here mention systems in use after 1990. I
do believe ICQ was available by at least 1990, maybe sooner. I have a
6-digit ICQ number because I started using it then, and I believe it had
been available for at least 6 months before.

Hopefully someone can come up with something earlier for prior art.
