Away messages, 12 chats open at once leading to "whoops, wrong window", Smarterchild, etc... AIM was epic!

When I was in middle school, everyone would get on AIM right after class ~3:30pm to chat. Admittedly, I used to register usernames that looked very similar to my friends' to impersonate them with others at my school. Good times.

Had to log into an old Photobucket account to find this gem screenshot of my old desktop with AIM chats gone wild.

I miss it a lot. The away message would eventually give birth to the Tweet (status update) that we all know today. AIM holds a special place in my Internet heart because it produced what would later become my Twitter handle: Torbahax. Ah, the 5th grade.
