RE: An experiment in IRC...

Cool idea about doing a live chat session from COMMON.

I'll send it up the line... (Oh wait, I am up the line. <g>)

Jef, lets do it. Why the heck not?

FYI everyone, I was late to the chat because the Microsoft Chat app version 
2.0 doesn't work. I had to find and download a freeware chat app before I 
could get in. Later, I downloaded MS Chat 2.1 beta, and it actually worked! 
 Leave it to MS. Their release-level apps don't work, while the betas do.
