My 10 year old self spent many many hours chatting with "internet friends" using PowWow..

It's the only chat that I can think of that communicated in a continuous stream of characters... your messages were sent letter by letter as you typed them, not all at once after you hit 'enter'. It made slow typers painfully obvious.

I remember being able to play audio clips in the chat that others could hear as well.. This was also around the same time that MP3s started to be used and passed around. What a magical time.
