How To Get To Carnival Glass Chat

Those of you who want to try out Java Browser Chat, it's
at this location:

http://www.mindspring.com/~premo22/chat/ 

Clicking on the address should take you to the Carnival Glass Chat page.
Type in your Nick Name.  Nick Names can be up to 9 characters and you
might want to have an alternate or two in case the one you choose is
taken. My nickname in chat is premo. As an example, if you wish to be
known as CG_Dude you would type that where it says Nick Name.
Type in a Real Name or any name.  Then click on "chat now".  This will
load a java applet and run it. You will probably get a warning when you
click on this.  With the expertise of the people who are running Newnet
I believe this is secure.  I have tried it with no problems.  If you ok
loading and running the applet it will take you into #carnival. 
After having done this and with a little luck you should be
in the carnival chat room.  Our regular meeting days are Wednesday
nights and Saturday nights.  Both starting times are 8:00 pm central
time.  On the first Saturday of the month we hold International chat
day.  On this day we start chat at 2:pm allowing us to chat with those
across the pond without their being up too late.

mIRC Chat

If you want all the sites and sound of the Carnival Chat
you can get the lastest mIRC Version program at:

http://www.mirc.co.uk

After you have it downloaded, just execute the exe file. It will
do everything for you and install it on your C: drive under
C:\mirc

After you have it install download the following exe file and
then execute the file.  Then press the unzip button.  This will
place four files in C:\mirc folder to automatically setup mirc
with all the settings needed to get on the chat. The only thing you
need to change is in the instruction listed below, #3 g. and h.


Here is the chat.exe file.  The "chat.exe", file is for people who
are install mirc for the first time on there computer.  For those
of you who already have mirc installed and are able to get to the
chat and want all the bells and whistle, use "chat2.exe".


chat.exe

chat2.exe


If you are upgrading Mirc. DO NOT delete the old version. The new
version will backup the old version in a backup directory. And when
it ask if you want to keep your old setting....tell it YES.
