Note: mIRC does NOT work with a mac. To use an IRC client with a mac, I recommend using Colloquy, another IRC client made specifically for macs.

1. First download mIRC at www.mirc.com
2. Open mIRC and go to "Tools" on the top tabs.
3. Click "Options" on the "Tools" tab.
4. Go to "Connect" then click "Servers".
5. Click "Add".
6. For "Description" put RAFO.
7. For "Irc Server" put "irc.quakenet.org".
8. For "Ports" put "6667" or if it already has don't change it.
9. Click "Ok"
10. Click "RAFO" ONCE and then click "Select".
11. Click "Connect to Server".
12. Type in "/j #readandfindout.com"
13. Your in. =)

***mIRC is completely free. After 30 days, it will prompt you to register (which costs money) but if you're willing to sit and look at a popup for 20 seconds, then you can click "continue" without having to pay.****

Mac Users
