Hi, I'm Jason Parker from Download.com and this is a First Look at mIRC. ### mIRC is an Internet Relay Chat Client also known as IRC. You can use it for multi-user chat conferences or one-on-one conversations. ### There are several channels to choose from depending on your interests and some are linked to Websites where you can find pictures and profiles of users you encounter in mIRC channels. ### The easiest way to join a channel is by using the Favorites pull-down menu where you'll find a lot of default channels to choose from. ### You can use mIRC to send and receive files from other users, but you should make sure you only share files with people you know. ### Advanced users can take advantage of mIRC's very own scripting language to complete various tasks, from managing your favorite channels to playing multi-user online games. ### Overall, with tons of options and flexibility, mIRC is probably the best of its class for IRC clients. ### I'm Jason Parker and this has been a CNET First Look at mIRC.
