ZdNetItalia : ICQ (32-bit)

Chat privately around the world
ICQ? It means "I-seek-you," and it has become one of the world's most popular Internet communications tools. And, it's free! ICQ lets you communicate directly (no IRC) with any other ICQ user on the Internet, either by direct messaging or in a text-based windowed interface for multiperson chat. You can build lists of family members and friends, with ICQ notifying you of their online presence, and then launch a direct, personal, private conversation. ICQ has dozens of options, including file transfers and linking to audio/visual chat applications. It's simple to install, operates seamlessly from the system tray, is well-documented, and is in use by millions. Reviewed on Jan 9 1998.
