Does anybody know of irc channels for Classic
Computers?
Interestingly I can't use IRC because I haven't written a packet filter for
my firewall, but I can use AOL's Instant Messenger. Strangely enough, in
spite of the AOL name and the perniciousness(sp?) of this thing when you
load up Netscape Communicator, my sister convinced me to try it out (you
don't need an AOL account or anything, just follow the prompts to sign up
for a "screen" name. And then when you are online it is fairly easy to send
out a quick question or have a short conversation without the 'lag'
associated with near real time email that sometimes happens on this list.
