gardening on IRC real-time chat

I do, now that I live somewhere where they're not painted shut.

I imagine there are IRC client for Power Macs. If not you could probably use one for Unix, assuming you have MacOS 10 or so.

BitchX for unix -

That's okay, Phaedrine. I'm sure he meant well. He just doesn't 'get it'. Just use KSIRC or XChat or even the Bourne Again IRC client (commandline IRC ... woo hoo! Geekicity!)

Freshmeat shows 569 listings for IRC servers, bots, relays and clients. There are plenty to choose from and, generally speaking, they all work just fine. mIRC is okay software ... but it isn't "the only show in town".

Salty, What makes you think she's using a Mac? There are more Linux desktop s than there are Macs. Ask my wife ... she loves it! Linux is #2 on the d esktop now ... and growing nicely, thank you.

Har har har. :)

I have an IRC client (Athena). But he said you needed Windows.

Well he could tell by my news client (in the headers). But you're right, there are a lot of Linux users out there now too.

Yes of course he did. :) People just assume everyone else uses what they use. I did not realize you could just use normal IRC. I have Athena so I can use that. Thanks :)

See above where Dan said you could access his Garden Chat with Windows.

Oop missed that anyway.. It's IRC besides!.. not some MicroShaft crap.. LOL!!-) // Jim

Or perhaps irssi.

It's my favorite. But then, I'm a perl programmer by trade, so it makes sense that I'd use an IRC client that's extensible with perl.
