What if we took it in turns to run an IRC channel? People could come in bet=
ween 6PM and 10PM any week-night and be guaranteed to have a free software =
fellow around to field their question.<br>
<br>
oldbies: Would that be fun? Would you want to try it?<br>
<br>
newbies: Would you use a service like that? OK, what if there were a web-ho=

thing, just go to our web-site, type in your name or pseudonym and click &=
quot;help".<br>
