I used the web interface until I installed ChatZilla. Get Firefox
(tabbed browsing rocks) if you don't have it, if you do - it's a
plugin. Once installed, you'll find it under Tools.

It's a cross-platform client -

Chatzilla is an easier to use client; sort of a hybrid between mIRC
and the web interface. We have computer geeks on chat, so once there
they can guide you with the process. What happens is when I have a
question and want to know how to do something one reads the directions
and tells me how to do it in plain English.


Good Luck!
