Do you really think that they would be using mIRC if they had unix on their workstations anyways? Maybe reading comprehension isn't one of your best skills.

Thanks Again!

                Ever consider that they might have run Windows on their workstations at work?  And even so
                using the clients that have been ported to Windows might be an even worse idea because of bugs
                in the ported clients.  It would generally be a good idea to think about what you're typing to thousands
                of people before you actually send it. dolt.


I mentioned unix based client, not windows hacks that are ported.  Perhaps
remedial reading might help you address these issues?

Thanks,

                and Thank You!


Unfortunately because of mIrc's reputation, some high management decided to have
use disuse it.... Great, especially since we are all Solaris or Cisco kids and
nothing to do with Microsoft based half compliant IRC stuff.

So if you can get the author or mIrc extradited to some secret jail under the
Homeland Security policy, I wouldn't mind doing the beating up and medieval
stuff. I have some nasty shielded SCSI cables I could use as a whip.

PS: Just for the "mIrc colors" invention that man deserves the "hungry lion at
the Colosseum" treatment.

If you folks was using mirc, then yer not the unix/cisco tech weenies you
think you are.  For there are a number of unix based irc clients available
that do not have as much bloat as mirc, which requires windows to run.


Thanks,

OK, so you're a Ph.D.  Just don't touch anything.
