I think I’ll buy it. I use Colloquy for my work but it’s very buggy

This is really THE best IRC client for Mac, no doubt!
Tons of features, perfect GUI and a good support by the dev himself.

I give it a 5 star

Fantastic client. Great features, far more stable than Colloquy, and being actively developed and supported to boot! $20 incredibly well spent.

Finally a real irc client for the mac. replacing whatever is out there. And a good mIRC alternative for the mac.. I've bought a bundle license and gave a copy to my friends who also switched from windows.

A very good client. It's not quite as powerful as some of the uglier ones and not nearly as free as the free ones but it looks good, works well, and is actually being updated.

I don't even use IRC that much anymore but I bought it and its the best OS X client I've ever used.

This is the best IRC client of OS X by far.

it can't display colors properly :/

Best IRC client I've used yet, on any platform.

The developers clearly have excellent attention to detail, and know where to apply the optimisations, unlike Colloquy. Now we need an iPhone version... heh. But well, without background apps, I'm not convinced irc on the iPhone is practical. Which sucks.

personally i use irssi from a remote sever (ssh -> screen -> irssi is the way to go)
but i would say this is one of the better gui irc clients.
considering it can run in the background on your mac, if they ever do make an iphone/ipod touch edition, i hope the main version lets you have a bnc set up to your device.

The widget I downloaded doesn't seem to work :(

The new version 1.5 is much faster!

Looks to me like 1.5 has been removed? I can't find it at least...

@trolley: 1.5 is currently a beta. look at http://www.last.fm/group/Audioscrobbler+Beta/forum/30705/_/390625

Thanks nils. I'll check it out.

CoverSutra works perfeclty under Leopard, and it has many other uses to, I would never go back to this application

unfortunately we don't have much more choice :(

Yes we do. See here.

Yeah I played this. It's pretty cool, like the original one.

I finally got thru a game session of FreeCol I like it. Much like it's cousin FreeCiv, this is an Open Source empire building game, but with a more elegant interface, and a slightly different focus. Free Col's game mechanics and visual design are closely modeled on Civilization 2 & 3, but the game revolves around colonizing the Americas, and declaring your independence from your home country. While there is documentation, it consists more of a feature list than actual instructions. There is no tutorial for the game -- I learned how to play FreeCol by playing a demo of Civilization 4 first, and realized that the game mechanics were the same. The menus in Mac OS 10.4 are a little glitchy -- they do not always render the commands from the pull down menus unless you are exactly over the text. The game plays and looks well, and I look forward to watching it grow.
