I’ve used IRC on and off for the past, um, 10 years or so. I’ve had a Mac for the past 5. For the life of me, I had not been able to find an IRC client for the Mac that didn’t completely and utterly suck. That is, until now.

Enter Colloquy – the sweetest, loveliest, most wonderful IRC client for the Mac that I have ever seen. Maybe the sweetest IRC client I’ve ever seen anywhere.

Now if only #van.rb and #singapore.rb weren’t all tombstone and tumbleweed like ;)

Did I mention it’s free?
