Once again, the future is relentlessly upon us. Recently I've been playing around a bit with Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which is basically a way for net-connected people like us to have real-time conversations. I thought it might be fun for Forum members who are interested in IRC to meet on our own channel for some casual conversation. If enough people become interested in this, we could set a regular time (say, weekly) for such meetings. Why don't we try it this Saturday? I think the following info will be enough to get us all in the same place at the same time, but if you know otherwise, please let me know. Day: Saturday, 13 July 1996 Start: 1 p.m. Central Daylight Time Server: Any Undernet server Channel: #TwainChat If you haven't yet tried IRC for yourself, there's still time for you to play around a bit before Saturday. A lot of documentation is available on the Web, and I recommend using a search engine like the one at http://webcrawler.com (using such keywords as "IRC" and "Undernet") to locate information about IRC. I look forward to seeing some Forum members on Saturday! Taylor Roberts
