Subject: [Leica] LUG Leica Chat Room - Now in it's ELEVENTH Year!

Started sometime in the Year 2000, the LUG has had a consistent real-time 
chat room up and running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. People pop in to 
post photos, ask for advice on photoshop, developing, camera bags, or to 
share videos or stories (today there has been much discussion of freight 
train crashes for some reason). 

How do you get to it?

1) Get an IRC client. The Leica chat room runs over IRC (Internet Relay 
Chat) there are a zillion IRC clients, Colloquy for the Macintosh and MIRC 
for Windows are both very popular.
2) Connect to the server lugirc.availabledark.com port 6667 (this is the 
default port, you probably won't need to enter it)
3) Join the channel (or room, depending on how your IRC client phrases it) 
called "#leica" (without quotes).
4) Start chatting.

You can email me if you're stumped, but it's not difficult.

Hope to see you there.

Kyle
