It's funny because I have a TS server of my own. When I'm playing with my guild on WoW we use Vent and I have TS loaded too. I use two different keys for PTT so I can talk to either channel or both at the same time.

Quality-wise Vent is superior, less bandwidth with clearer audio and better controls of both the incoming and outgoing levels. TS is a little easier to set up since they have a slider for every setting even if they don't have a separate control for incoming and outgoing levels.

IE7 has a weird setup

I love to see the menubar first and then under those the other bars, but in IE7, they changed this, weird

Stepping away from the Firefox is better or IE7 rules or Opera kicks arse. It's all about standards. Which ones? CSS to be exact.

Opera and Firefox are better at the CSS standard than IE7. MS rewrote IE7 from the ground up and still screwed the pooch on most of the basics. Don't get me wrong, both FF and Opera aren't perfect but IE really makes it hard as a cutting edge web designer to get some real cool stuff done without having to resort to browser trickery.

That being said. I use FF to design, Opera to verify it works, and then hack it to make IE play along.

But in the end, who cares as long as I can play games on my computer.

PLEASE DON'T HURT ME! I actually like IE 7, Beta 3. It's just about as secure as FireFox with a (in my opinion) slightly more attractive look. You can download it for free at http://www.microsoft.com, under their Windows page.

Is Opera good? I've never given it a try, I cant get rid of IE.... but I never use it. IRC is really easy to use once you are used to it. Just like 3 clicks and your in once its all set up.

Oh wow, that's neat. I don't use Opera so I don't know. I use the FireFox plugin which is alright.

/warning, shameless plug follows

Well, you know, in the newest version of Opera IRC is built in, so all I have to do to join the IRC is click on the "FS IRC CHANNEL" and IRC pops up in a new tab. Also the tab goes blue when someone says something and you don't have the tab open. Quite user friendly, no?
