i prefer xchat to mirc, especially if you can find the last free version before they started gettin greedy.
not that there's anything wrong with being greedy.

"Greed is good"

That was Michael Milken, who was quoted by Michael Douglas in wallstreet and everyone ooo and aaaa'd and thought that was cool. Michael didn't quote it though, he said it as if it was his own so it sounded cool.
Milken was actually put in jail for fraud as the means for building his personal wealth on junk bonds. Turns out it wasn't so cool to be greedy after all.
Here is a local story of greed and it's results, potentially imprisonment, for a lil' republican that wanted him a big house. He might just get himself in the big house.

Mirc is where the UT community hangs - c2c -, WM and others are already posting on their sites to support our Mirc channel. C'mon gang! Mirc is free. Even after it asks you to register after 30 days. Law you can post your smart-ass jokes at the top of the channel window - interested now? LOL

Hoss... mIRC is an IRC client... xChat is an IRC client... both will get you there.
xChat does it with more style
You're also *supposed* to be able to get there from the UT2004 chat screens.. but I've never got that to work

Hmmm interesting...
I know that the character of Gordon Gecko (played by Douglas) was based on Ivan Boesky... But I wasn't aware that Milken used it (or a similar quote) as well.

That's still true beer, it was based on Ivan but that quote was lifted from Michael Milken. You didn't give me any points for all that? gheesh.
