This idea came to me. How many of these do you remember? Did you ever use it? I remember using all of these at some point.
Update: I’ll give till Sat night if no one gets it I’ll reveal the answers. Good job so far to all who’ve attempted.

I legitimately still use Winamp as my main music player when I’m playing local files. I’ve had the same skin on it for over 20 years. I’ll be crushed if Windows ever breaks compatibility and I can’t install it anymore.
Also I still have mIRC and on the rare instance I get on IRC, that’s what I’m launching, but it is very infrequent these days. :P
I still use winamp too, its called WACUP. I think the official one became this bloated silly thing, but I haven’t tried it in a while.
I can get 5 out of 9: Winzip, winamp (still use it), Netscape, AOL, and mirc (still use it).
wow, talk about a blast from the past!
I’ve seen a few posts about people asking if this moving to Lemmy feels like the old Internet. That’s how I came up with this. If we’re talking old Internet this was the starter pack. 😜
Okay, here’s what I got:

Winzip,Winamp,Netscape
??, AIM, ICQ
mIRC, ??, ??
So, what was number 8?
Neoplanet
A browser that used IE browser engine, but had a customizable interface. They went for that Winamp customized approach.
And now we know!
I was still using mIRC one until as recently as maybe 7-8 years ago, when I switched to HexChat… There’s still a few semi-active furry IRC servers, believe it or not.
From left to right going down:
Spoiler
1 Winzip
3 Netscape
5 AIM
6 ICQ
2 looks extremely familiar but I can’t for the life of me recall the name of it and everything else I have no idea.
Hint for 2: it really whips the llamas ass

Winamp
Sorry, I had to hit the give up button on that one. I facepalmed real hard after finding out the name.
I’m going to take a wild guess on the type of software 4 is and say it’s an encyclopedia?
You’re close.
Argh here’s my attempt: WinZip, winamp, Netscape navigator, ??, AOL, ??, mIRC, ??, DirectX diagnostic tool
Row 1:
Winzip, Winamp, Netscape.
Row 2:
???, AIM, ICQ. (First one is Encarta, maybe?)
Row 3:
mIRC, ???, ???. Taking a wild guess that the middle one is Napster because it’s an N? Everyone had already moved on to Limewire by the time I got there.
I’d say 6/9 isn’t bad.
Nice I think your the first for 7/9. Your correct on row 2, but that’s not Napster in 3.
My guesses (really, my memory being tested)
——
WinZip, WinAmp, Netscape
Encarta, AIM, ICQ
mIRC, ???, DirectX

The only one I’m stumped on is bottom center, which looks familiar, but which I can’t—trying to satisfy curiosity—even find via Google.
(Edit: Found it. Gosh, I think I used that once…)
Nice! Yeah had to have one difficult one. Lol
