| IRC IRC is
a way of hooking up with other Net users to exchange written
comments--live and in real time. To do this, you need an IRC client and an
IRC server. Once connected to the server, you join a channel, or
discussion group, which can include people from all over the world. IRC
channels may hold discussions about anything under the sun (and some
topics that shouldn't see the light of day). IRC can be accessed by a
variety of downloadable software on both the PC and Mac. |
