Java making you buggy? Once you have mIRC up and running you'll be oh so glad
you made the effort. It takes a short amount of time to download, and installing
and setting it up is relatively painless. The entire process may take you 15-20
minutes. If you have troubles, please come to the Kong is King Chatroom and ask for help through
KongisKing.net Java page:
http://www.kongisking.net/chat/java/.
