A short history of
IRC
IRC was developed in 1988 by Jarkko Oikaninen from a program
called MUT (MultiUser Talk) which was written by Jyrki Kuoppala. When
IRC first came online at the University of Oulu (Finland) in late
August 1988, there were around 10 users. The first IRC server,
tolsun.oulu.fi, remains online.

IRC...(Internet
Relay Chat)
This links to a page that explains how to use IRC and has a link
to download mIRC. mIRC for some peculiar reason has nothing to do
with Macintosh computers...the Mac IRC programs are called IRCle and
Homer (yes.....Homer Simpson speaks when this one loads!) IRC
resources can be found on .net CDs. Subscribe by going to the
Future publishing home page
or use the download and help links below to download Homer.
