588-2300

Still can't get that damn number out of my head.
This has to date back at least 25 years now.

I listed my old (circa 1999) ICQ number in another thread and it got me thinking about what is the earliest personal "number" that I remember. I guess my earliest would be my phone number that I haven't used since I was 5 years old, about 20 years ago. 8281602.

What is yours?

PS. Don't post credit card numbers, student numbers, passwords, numbers that use to create passwords, social security numbers, etc.

4-digit numbers for my bike lock which i thought was the coolest bike evar!!! i got it for my 10th birthday i think, so that's 1983. until now i still use the same four numbers (several variations of it, with different orders) for a lot of my 4-digit PINs (ATM, etc).

a little off topic but since you mentioned it, my ICQ number is six digit (7xx-xxx) and I registered it after being told by my friends with also six digit ICQ numbers but started with a 3 (3xx-xxx).
