May i ask why it's silly? if i want to use a program, then i want it to be 100% compatible with my OS, so why try to make workarounds for things then wait untill the most of the problems are solved?
but i agree with
Since mIRC is developed in his home (I believe), I don't think it would be right to evade ones privacy like that, he'd probably feel like he was in the Big Brother house or something.
And i still think a picture of a desc a computer a monitor in a room arent that intresting

But if people want to see that, then they should see it.
