Hello,

Just an occasional reminder that there is real-time chat on the
Undernet IRC network. You can access it with windows by using the
program mIRC, available at www.mirc.com, then using any available
Undernet server. Once connected to the server type

/join #gardening

There aren't many people except during the evening hours of north
america, but hopefully that will change. Hope to see you soon!

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.

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!)

According to Seimens, Linux will have 20% market share on the desktop by
2008. Apache (also open source software) already enjoys a steady 60+% share
of web servers. Somewhere in the mix, people will stop simply 'assuming'
Winders. It's not a safe assumption anymore.

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.

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
