about
the merits of jabber vs. irc. while i will admit that i have never
used
jabber for any significant length of time, i've been using irc for
several
years now and have really come to like it. so in a manner
befitting gnome
vs. kde or emacs vs. vi, here are my particular reasons for liking
irc:
- irc is text based, no gui required. which means that the irc
client can
be used on just about any *nix system, including very old hardware
or a
server which may not have X installed.

I hit the send button before I thought to point out that all your
other reasons were based on this one. Which, as I pointed out in my
last post, is a non-issue :)
The biggest reason to migrate FROM IRC.... netsplits!!! :)
