- Well I've heard he's got a lot of tattoo's, is really into Tori Amos, and
- bathes 3 times a day for fear of carpet parasites. He's a whiz on Super
- Mario Cart and bakes ONE HELL of a key lime pie.
-
- Homer, however, is a complete work of art. All other Macintosh IRC clients
- pale completely in comparison. From the handy dandy features to the eye-
- popping visuals, it absolutely can't be beat. I've used ircle, Yakkity Yak,
- and Homer, and Homer is DEFINATELY the way to go.
-
- Get it and use it, you won't regret it. The current authorized most-recent-
- version is 0.87 but the programmer might let you have a sneak peak at 0.88
- which features some really nice enhancements if you're really nice to him
- and give him some high-altitude baking tips.
-
- Seriously: if you have a Mac and you IRC, get homer. It's available on
- zaphod.ee.pitt.edu in the /pub directory in both serial and TCP/IP versions.
