More "shiny toys" for CHaS DU'ers: re-created vintage AIM, AOL, ICQ, Yahoo [View all]

Hi lurkers and members of CHaS,

Before anyone asks me, you do NOT have to use any of this or download any of this. Please relax. Those four programs are all totally voluntary to use, so please ignore this if you don't like to play with "shiny tech toys".

More "shiny toys" for you to play with, as indicated in the subject line. I learned of all these here: What Ever Happened to AIM ?

The main download link is here: http://iwarg.ddns.net/phoenix/index.php?action=downloads You might wish to use a "sandbox" to ensure security or just scan them for malware.

Please do NOT ask me for help. I am just as ignorant as the rest of you about all this. If you have some spare time on your hands and like to play around with re-creations of vintage 1990's technology, here you go.

Apparently AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) went kaput forever on December 15th, 2017. I am surprised it lasted that long, around 20 years or so.

Enjoy, my fellow techy DU'ers !
