How to Connect to a Internet Relay Chat Server
----------------------------------------------
You Need a Client the best and fastest way I think is to Download and
install Mozilla this will not replace your windows default IE browser.
I mostly use Mozilla. You can use both IE (Internet Explorer) or
Mozilla. Mozilla is very easy to add things to it. Use mozilla
and chatzilla when you want to chat on the irc network.
-------------------
Here are some links
-------------------
If your Blonde: Open your browser Click square in right
corner and resize your screen pull browser down to bottom
of screen. To Copy and Paste URL - Hold Left Mouse Button
Down and Mouse Over http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/ starting
from the right Highlight the URL let off the mouse button
with URL highlighted --> http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/
then right click scroll down to copy and left click then
click in the address bar of your browser push the backspace
key then right click and scroll down to paste and left click.
Then Push <ENTER>.
Or Type in by Hand Do Not make a mistake.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16/
The Client I like is Called ChatZilla is a addon for Mozilla Firefox
Write these links down and or Copy and Paste to Your Browsers Address
Bar or Type them in by hand.
After Installing Mozilla
Open the https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16/ # link
then Click Add to FireFox that is all there is to it for getting started
with Mozilla Firefox and ChatZilla as your client.
