IRC with Opera browser

I'm not a frequent chatter. If I feel like chatting online, yahoo messenger is for sure the only choice I know. However public chatrooms are very limited and quite a limited number of users allowed in a room.

Today is the first time (after quite some time) that I'm (back) on IRC. First I browse for IRC clients that is available because mIRC, a popular client is actually not a freeware. To my surprise, IRC Client is included in Opera browser. (I'm using Opera as my default browser because Firefox is not too efficient on memory and sometimes unable to display certain webpages correctly. There is also IRC client in Firefox addons).

Here's simple guide on using IRC in Opera.
-Tools - Mail and Chat Account
-fill in your name, email and nickname
-choose a server. I choosed Dalnet Asia
-join a room. The only room I know is "kampung"

Thats it. You can now start chatting with other users.
Dont ask me about IRC commands... I'm a newbie too...
