Yes those are my way to think about mIRC look. I think IRC is chat program. Chat means voice-chat too. And even bettre voice and webcam. Still you could meet alot of peeps on irc put in same time you could start chatting with em by voice and webcam. It really is oldschool way to think progress and new stuff is bad and makes the program worse. Thats lie! Program will not get bad but it CHANGES. Are you afrite of it?

Then again I think Khaled are not willing to start developing mIRC once again into it's next generation version which would be more able to compete with msn messenger and others. IRC is starting to be a really old way to chat. Why not improve it? I really look forward to see a mIRC type of program which can connect to quakenet and I could start voice-chats with espanian people even tho I am from Finland and start gaming with them. I think it would be easy to make a server integrated to mIRC so that you can chose to run voice-com server inside mIRC and get your mates in it.

I ask this and I point it directly to Khaled:

Are you still willing to develope mIRC program or developing a new program which is mIRC style but uses these nowdays possibilites?

Then again is there a coder who would start this kind of projekt to get a new and modern mIRC program?

And who says kids wanna progress? You are fool. Even if you grow older you can still chose to want progress in your life and have childish imagination.
