1.11 - How about getting together on IRC? (rec.games.pinball)

IRC is almost always active. The "scheduled" time is Sunday nights at 9
Eastern Time. This translates into 2AM for England, 3AM for Sweden, and 4AM
in Finland. You can of course use a table and find out what this is for your
local time. The channel, of course, is #pinball. However, we have our own
server, irc.citenet.net. If you connect to #pinball on "regular" IRC (i.e.
EFNET or one of the others), it is likely not many people will be on there if
any. Having our own server keeps the conversation much more reliable since
we don't really have to worry about netsplits and the like.

If you don't know what IRC is, or don't know how to access it, then check out
the alt.irc FAQ. If you don't get alt.irc, then hopefully they also have
gotten it on rtfm.mit.edu by now (the news.answers holding-place). Also, if
that fails, try alt.answers and news.answers.

The preferred IRC access program that most of us use (for Win16 and Win32) is
mIRC. Check <http://www.mirc.co.uk/>.
