there's a ton of stuff on IRC out there, but for the moment, i'd like to point out that there is an amiga.org IRC channel. you get can your questions answered by reading the
FAQ. there are also the amigaworld
IRC servers, too. setting up AmIRC is easy. just read the included docs, which also have a brief section on what IRC is all about. have fun!
