 TG> that prospective.  But I haven't used IRC?  Honestly never been much

....so you're telling me that you went on BBSs, but you skipped the early
internet phase?

I kid. IRC is old technology, and I'm guessing that you're probably better
off with some modern software if you're going to do lots of sharing and
whatnot that you want to do in the app, rather than through links.

Anyway, IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a connected network of chat servers.
Fairly distributed, too. And, mind you, there are still lots of networks
involved -- the person you are talking to mentioned EFnet, but there are
plenty of other, smaller, IRC networks.

I can't say I've used Team View, but I tend to figure that most
video-chatting software has something that works for document sharing, one
way or another. E.g., sharing desktop if needed, and sending files through
chat.

So I'm sure it'll work. I mostly just mentioned MRC because it's a BBS
solution, and it seems most appropriate, even if it's not the actual best
solution. I mean, with a few exceptions, we're all a bunch of sysops, using
BBSs for no apparent reason.

I mean, I'm 80 ANSIs into a calendar app, and I have no idea why I've put
that much effort into it rather than stopping and working on a different
project.
