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.

Can we get over this now ?  You both misread the OP if I'm not mistaken.
He specifically wrote :

"Great, especially since we are all Solaris or Cisco kids and nothing to do 
with Microsoft based half compliant IRC stuff."

Thereby clearly implying that he and his other staff WEREN'T using mIrc at 
all.  His management only _assumed_ they were, and therefore forbid irc.
Please, read more carefully...


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,
