Well, that is certainly a guess but I have the strangest feeling that
you'll be wrong.  :)

Well, keep the list around.  I'm sure someone will be interested to
know what kinds of features people would like in a IIgs IRC client.

I had always meant to check out the Apple II related IRC channels but
never made it.  I came real close once, but didn't quite make it.  :)
I'll probably make it there someday.

Mind you, from what I've heard, I don't think anyone in the IIgs IRC
channel would want to use their Apple IIs to do IRC.  But I'm sure
there is lots of people who probably would, other than them.

Gee, I don't know.  I only hang out in the Delphi conferences to talk
to the people using the web chat system with their free web accounts,
myself.  :)

Me, I use e-mail, news and telnet everyday.  Occaisionally I'll do
some ftp or search for stuff on the web (but that is usually to find
drivers for IBM machines as I do computer consulting work).

If I had an IRC client and could drag myself away from the Delphi
chats rooms, I would probably use it as well.
