mirc is an internet chat programme, people use it to connect to irc servers. on these irc
servers are "channels", like rooms, where people meet. channels are prefixed
with a hash mark '#', and quake channels normally have the country code after it e.g.
#quake.ie or #bio. you get mirc at http://www.mirc.co.uk.
when you set it up, fill out the normal bullshit like your name etc. then, when it asks
you for a server, you put in either irc.b0rk.co.uk or irc.intensive.co.uk
there are others too, but who cares. when you connect to this server, and it offers you
channels to join, you type in "#quake.ie", and then you will be brought in where
all the irish quakers meet online. don't try talking to daneel, dors, or giskard, they are
ircbots. have fun.
