Eep, no I'm not a spambot! (Like a spambot would spam about mac stuff anyway, heh.)
I got this fancy new macbook laptop a bit more than a month ago, and when I tried to find a schnazzy free IRC client, I couldn't. So, I downloaded Snak, which has a 30 day evaluation period. Which now has expired. So I figured, maybe some of you mac using folks out there know of a nice freeware IRC client for mac? I could just go through the hassle of getting a new 30 day evaluation client, but it'd be nice to have one I wouldn't have to change/reset monthly. So if you have any ideas, spill them out, and I'll love you for it!
(And yeah, this is the reason I haven't been on IRC for a couple of days. I'll see you folks again soon hopefully!)

Chatzilla. It's free, and it's integrated with Firefox.
I know of X-Chat also, used to be free, don't know if it still is.

When you get the "Evaluation date expired!" message, just wait a while. After a couple of seconds, you can just press "Continue" and it'll start loading IRC. Hey, that's how I do it. Dutch powah.

No, that's the way to bypass mIRC. Khaled Mardam-Bey, you suck, much to our advantage!

I use X-Chat, it has some nice features, is easy to use, and is freeware.

Coolness, thanks for the suggestions folks! I'm giving chatzilla a try since I've been curious about it for a bit, but if I decide it doesn't reach my expectations I'll take xchat for a spin.

Do X-Chat! I use it on my Macintosh, and in comparison to the other IRC Clients I use, it is by far the best!
