Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is one of the most popular and most interactive services on the
Internet. Sure, the Web is nice for finding info and E-mail beats snailmail
hands down, but when you've been wondering 'where the others are?', then IRC is what
you're looking for.
IRC is the net's equivalent of CB radio. But unlike CB, Internet Relay Chat lets people
all over the world participate in real-time conversations. IRC is where the Net
comes alive!
Meeting people. IRC is great fun and you'll sure meet lots of interesting people and find nice spots to
hang out! But, IRC is not something that you should just jump into without first reading
up on it. You could feel very lost if you do not know some basic commands before you enter
IRC, and you might not even know how to get out of IRC after that :o)
So, we suggest you read some documentation (help files, readmes, FAQs etc) before you get
connected to an IRC server, or it can be very frustrating for you when you get stuck.
No worries, all info you need is available on mIRC's web pages and...
mIRC makes things really simple!
