INTRODUCTION
Internet Relay Chat, or IRC, is essentially the chat room service of the
Internet. Anyone in the world with Internet access can log on and chat or
exchange files. To connect to IRC, you first need to download and install an
"IRC client." Once you're logged on, you can join one of the IRC channels, or
chat rooms, devoted to TI graphing calculators. You can ask (nicely) for help,
discuss programming tips, or just hang out, all in real time.

TI GRAPHING CALCULATOR IRC CHANNELS
To access these channels, join an
EFnet

diving in; experienced IRC users are not historically forgiving of new
users who ask common questions.
