Field Note #1 @R0GUE 2008-03-27

Another vote here for Colloquy. I've been using its since its pre-beta days and have had no complaints

Field Note #2 @WinLinMac01 2008-03-28

isn't Mirc also available for mac...just curious. =)

Field Note #3 @Puttabong 2008-03-28
No, sorry. mIRC just comes in two tastes for Windows; a 16 bit and a 32 bit one. These issues will work on Windows 3.x, Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, and NT, but not on Windows CE. mIRC also does not work on the Atari, Commodore, WebTV, Macintosh, UNIX or Linux operating systems. We have no plans to make mIRC versions for these…

Don't worry, Colloquy is much better anyway.

LOL, buddy that was funny. Laughing so loud that I am off my seat now. :DDD

I didn't like Colloquy when I used it. I find X-Chat Aqua to be much nicer. Prolly because I used it in Linux, and then Windows for years.

For some real fun, could try Bitch X

Field Note #6 @seren 2008-03-28

I tried colloquy but the one thing i didn't like was that closing it disconnected from irc, while i know not everyone idles all day and its a minor annoyance to keep the window open in the dock. Well im currently using Linkinus its not free and its new and some features are still getting weeded in and bugs are getting weeded out i suggest to give it a try.

Why don't you just hide the program instead? Press command "Command+H" and its gone until you click back on the dock icon where it'll reappear. Alternatively option clicking (Alt+left click) on the desktop whilst in any app will accomplish the same thing and hide the currently running app.
