I remember having two monitors for my Apple II like the article says, one for color and another black and white one so that I could read 80 column text.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Anybody got any preferences on IRC programs for Macs?
Does anyone have opinions on/experience with this camera?
• 10.0MP for Extreme Cropping and Poster-Size Prints; 2.5 " LCD Screen Size
• Lens-Focus Features: Manual Focus, Auto Focus
• Operational Modes: Shutter Priority AE, Aperture Priority AE
• White Balance: Shade, Cloudy, Flash, Automatic, Custom, Manual, Tungsten, Fluorescent, Daylight for Adjusting Light
These are the features that I'm really looking at. Esp. the white balance.
I own that camera and love it. It takes really good low light shots.
How's the automatic white balance? Every digital camera I've used has been prone to error in this regard, forcing me to do it manually....
I use X-Chat Aqua on the few occasions I IRC Kevin, but that's mostly because I used X-Chat on Linux for years and years. I started playing with Colloquy once. It was pretty, but I didn't feel like taking the time to get the hang of its interface.
And there's always BitchX in a terminal, if you're hardcore.
I've not messed with the white balance extensively, but it seems to be pretty good. Also, since it can shoot in RAW format you can do a lot of adjustment to the image after it has been shot if you have the right software. I've been using it with Aperture.

sirc all the way :P
Although that would involve gettin' perl, which seems like effort. I'm liking the pretty at the moment.
perl should be pre-installed, actually. If not, it's easy if you have fink or darwinports (I very slightly prefer darwinports) which you totally should get if you're a Unixer.
Looking at macupdate.com, Conversation looks pretty nice (and very Mac-like) but doesn't work with Intel yet. And ircle seems like a popular choice, but it hasn't been updated in a LONG time.
Looking over the options, I think I'd probably use X-Chat Aqua even if I didn't know it. There's a reason it's the most popular graphical chat client on Unix machines too...
