I thought it would be good if I also told my operating system. So my Windows OS is Windows 2000 Professional with Service pack 4 and on Pentium3 750MHz system with 320MB RAM.
Although this my wreck isn't even near the best PCs you can have today I still consider that it should be enough to run little win proggies such as the mIRC. I also think that everything shouldn't grow endlessly although there all the time comes more resources to computers available with more powerful components. I like mIRC more than any other IRC-client mainly because it has GUI - I have so used to it that I feel bored when I irc with text-based clients. Still I feel also bored if program feels sticky. Maybe I could just update also my Windows machine to get mIRC running smoothly but it feels a pretty useless just for one program, although the program would be good and probably worth it.
However people have already IRC'ed over a decade ago so the idea is still the same and pretty simple, shouldn't build too huge programs around this thing...or maybe I am just wrong and don't see some point I should. If it's like that, wake me up from my dream, please..

Thanks for reading, peace
