Okay, so I had finally figured out how to use the mIRC program, and all the channels that I know I found in Faye's article. It seems disconcerting that those are all the channels that I know, which immediately limits the areas I could visit. I wish I had more resources aside from people from my school and something I picked up in a webmagazine. Oh well, I can always plead the ignorance of youth. Though in the age of the internet and speedy information, there is no excuse.
