Greetings,
This is a bit off topic... but I'm already composing the email so hey. Anybody recommend a good Mac IRC client? I haven't been on IRC for years, and never since switching to Mac. I've searched a bit but thought maybe someone could make a recommendation since many folks on here seem to discuss this project on IRC (which is my goal as well).
Thanks!
Raymond

I find "Conversation" to be good.
Colloquy is a good open-source alternative to Conversation.
I find that both Colloquy and Conversation are more "Mac-like" in their philosophy and implementation than other OS X IRC clients.

I use Irssi in a terminal window (installed with Fink). Very fast and lightweight. I tried Colloquy too, it's cute but pretty huge and slow (they actually use XSLT and a WebView to display the text, IIRC).

I like XChat Aqua, coming from a year of linux, its like being at home.

According to Michael Gregoire:
Thanks for the Irssi tip. I'm always watching for good command-line apps. I'll give it a shot.
I find the combination of irssi within screen sessions unbeatable. That way, I can disconnect from screen and reconnect from another place with ssh and keep everything as if I never logged off. I find easier to manage multi-servers/networks setup with different screen sessions too.
