DW> mIRC or pIRCh are currently the best IRC clients for use under
 DW> win95, I use mIRC and it's  doddle to set up, you'll need the name

 GG> snip

I'm told that pIRCh is pretty hoopy with sound capabilites and what not
I must grab myself a copy and set it up.

 DW> newbies are NOT welcome and you'll either be flamed or kicked, or
 DW> even banned by people who have god complexes.

 GG> Oh yes, that's for sure.   But do jump in and get your feet wet.
 GG> Lurking in IRC is silly.

Yep, thats me, boots and all, I just found a channel and jumped, of course
the fact that I had a ready made channel to go into, #ltuae_oz made it
easier, and that was full of friends


 DW> #aussies is a nice friendly one
 DW> #newuser is also ok

 GG> These are fairly tame...   a good start.

well lets not send em off to #boy_torture just yet


 DW> then there are channels that are set up for just about any topic
 DW> you care to name... trust me..

 GG> Some people can get their tititlation (sp) just from reading the
 GG> channel names and never even joining any.  

I have a read of teh list available to me and it's certainly informative.

 DW> #netsex is a LOT of fun (g)

 GG> Windows users have a definite advantage over Unix text IRC users.  You
 GG> can obscure your Email address and keep prying eyes from knowing who
 GG> you really are, which means you can go in, get a nice root and get out
 GG> without any worries over Net perverts.

Yep. (ahem not that *I* would know about that) *grin*

 GG> Netsex: tension relief of the 90's.   But it takes longer.

good way of spending an hour or so in priv chat with a like minded person
