Hi, willowtigger!

The internet says ICQ means "I seek you", & it's a way to chat online. You can google icq.com & you'll be taken to their site.

My dad used to do morse code and when he was practicing that was the call sign he would use when he was sending morse looking for a response.

At least you can chat here at the forums.

I've never heard of this or seen it. But there's so much I don't know since I didn't grow up with this technology and it moves too fast for me too.

Odd to me to see that CQ means seek you, I guess it's how CQ is pronounced because I don't see how C = seek or see.

Getting too old...

There's a SITE for this???

Too much technology. Better the devil I know, which means this forum that I've been on since 2008.

The Q starts with the "K" sound, so with that following the letter C, which sounds like "see", together it sounds like "seek". Then, the only sound that's left is "U/you.

By the way, I seek you all for my very mixed up mental health.

I bet this is just a fraction of stuff I don't know.

I'm not even good with shortcuts so many people use like "TTYL" which means talk to you later. One of MANY....

Thanks.

ICQ was a chat program back in the 90's. You had a number rather than a username, which limited it's popularity compared to AIM (who later bought them IIRC).

The 90's? Then why is it being mentioned now, since it sounds like something no longer used?

And I don't know what AIM or IIRC is either.
