What is IRC?
IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat which basically hosts chatrooms. There's quite a lot of IRC servers around on the internet and each channel is unique to its own with different people running it.
here's quite a few IRC clients out there and they are each to their own. Some clients are listed below. miRC - Windows Textual - Mac OS X X-Chat - Linux
Many people will argue that one client is better than the other but you should really choose one you feel most comfortable with.
