Thanks, as far as what client is on my puter, I have no idea. my lady set IRC up,and Carol is a uber user... her pc is microsoft free,she's into Linux,Hates Bill Gates and any thing he has had his hands on! she is crazy secureity (sp) consious,so when it comes to stuff like IRC I let her set it up for me.(She builds all our computers,sets up the networks,does all the security),as far as chatting goes I use Skype I can't type worth a shit!

Thanks again
