i was a user of IRC, but mIRC was for lowly windows users. ;-) the uber folks were using unix and bit*hx. efnet was the network of choice. not dalnet or the rest.
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector. Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

I still do on occasion, though not on EFnet anymore, a friend has a private server.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Me too.... back when eBay was considered a "Joke" to serious collectors (only for 'pez people')... LOL (we've come full circle eh?)

I remember the times of "mIRC wars" when whoever was on cable was the king and could DOS any dialupper

<< <i>and IRC means "Internet Relay Chat", old style of BBS before PCGS but after the really old style BBS with old POTS modems. >>
I remember when it meant "International Reply Coupon." Interestingly, they provided the basis for the original Ponzi Scheme.
60 years into this hobby and I'm still working on my Lincoln set!
