I said, specifically, IRCv3. Older versions of IRC are pretty old.

The only thing that springs to mind which is more old than the first version of IRC are things like 'talk', which doesn't work with more than two users and which, I believe, requires that both users have an account on the same host.

(For that you'd need a 1968-era SDS940 computer, but hey you'd get analog video conferencing. Old enough?)

@hyc
Right. I remember using it with my business partner in 2003, I think? Ages after it made sense, of course. But we always had an account on the same system, so I just misremembered 🙂
