It’s not that bad to warrant a pit thread, but I’m QUITE ANNOYED with MiRC over the the past few minutes. I’ve tried for like a 1/2 hour to get on, so I might be chatting with my fellow dopers. ARGH! Someone IM me, I’m LocaLPanda. I want to talk to the dopers dammit! ---

Calm down, Totoro… it’ll be OK, really 🙂 Robin who loaded SDMB threads faster than she got on IRC today ---

Ah, hell. I have yet to be able to get on that thing ---

_Whew_ At least I’m not the only one. mIRC has run through the server options 3 times already…now starting attempt #4. ---

I tried on Sunday, and never got on. My IRC client showed 396 tries before I got frustrated. I hate Undernet. Perhaps we should change servers. (#Straightdope is not affilated with SDMB or the Chicago Reader) ---

My cat just stepped on the power button on the keyboard, shutting the entire thing down. Now I can’t get on at all. Robin ---

I’d just like to add a big, hearty, EAT ME, UNDERNET! to all this. Okay, I’m done now. ---
