We used to send trojans to people around the same time. I got particularly consumed by it and started a file on a girl a couple of years older than us (we were around 10-11 at the time). Shit got too real and I ended up seeing a conversation she had with her friend about how she was pregnant and didn't dare tell her parents. It all got too personal, somehow, and I realized I had a window into too much of her life, so I nuked it and never looked back. It was a bad thing to do from the beginning, but at least I learned something about life and after that I had an even bigger interest in computers and programming, as well as the idea of creating something instead of only doing bad things. Shortly after I had my first touch of programming (outside of copying a "Snake" game from a magazine) when I wrote macros for Ultima Online. Thinking back to this time with ICQ and all of this is making me really nostalgic and I sort of wish I could sit in with my old self and talk about the future.
