Re: IRC

[gser@earth.execpc.com (Dan Krass)]

The two IRC channels I know/knew of are:

#appleiigs on EFNet, which is still around and has lots of regulars
most of the regulars have gone onto games programming or unix
administration work instead of working on the IIgs - I've gone
in only a few times, but mostly was either ignored or when tlaked
to was not insulted and have talked about the IIgs some.. In
a nostalgic sense, usually, however.

#appleII on irc.hypermall.com is dead as far as I know. Jawaid
Bazyar wanted to start this channel, but it never took off afaik
The only large conference in there was a converence with 
Geoff Weiss about Spectrum Internet Suite.
