Re: [native-lang] UPDATE: Get Started with IRC

Hello Robert, Daniel,

thanks for the info. You're right Daniel, Gaim is the key. Now, another
problem of course is that few people actually get to know the IRC. Most
people I know who are recent switchers love Gaim "because they can use
MSN (or Yahoo, or AIM)" with it, but they don't really understand IRC.
But I guess that I'm a particular case, because I *hate* IM, and prefer
IRC... ;-)

Charles.
