Time travel is all the rage at the moment so this issue we've leapt forward to AtariPhile #5 to present an article Joe simply wouldn't let us keep to ourselves!

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is an often neglected area of comms. Most comms enthusiasts go to great lengths to minimise their online time and keep the phone bill under control. IRCers do it online - often for several hours at a time! We show you how the rest is up to you.

All issues of AtariPhile are available by sending an SAE, disk and two stamps per issue, one for return postage, one towards our costs to: 11 Pound Meadow, Whitchurch, Hants, RG28 7LG, England.
Don't forget to say which issue/s you require! The current issue can also be read online or ftp'ed from the relevant addresses below. Please note our email address has changed.
