- I have used both Grapevine and Amirc, and I actually think I prefer Grapvine.
-
- >Neither of which bothers me. It is very nice!
-
- I agree that Amirc is very nice, it looks good, it has a lot of good features
- which grapevine does not have.
-
- But there are two points which are enough for me to continue using
- grapevine...
-
- a) if you open any pull down menu, or alter any setting, the text out put from
- the IRC session slows down, then floods you when you have finished what ever
- you are doing.
-
- b) You can not resize the window to a degree where you can see two IRC
- sessions on the screen at once.
- I am often joined to two channels, and I like to see what is happening in both
- of them at the same time. Having the windows over lapping and swapping
- between them is not really a good thing for me.
-
- if Amirc could fit two windows on the same screen and allow me to see and type
- to both, then I would love it, but unfortuantly it doesn't.
