Just noticed that the IRC chat for 68kmla.org has finally been changed to Mibbit. There are many key features that make Mibbit much more attractive then the old java applet some of which are:
* Fast lightweight client - as opposed to flash or java applets.
* Connect to multiple channels on multiple servers.
* Full utf8 support means whatever language, you can use mibbit.
* Typing notification (Users name turns red when they are typing).
* Tab completion on nicknames (Just starting someones name, and try pressing tab).
* Input history for each channel (Up and down arrows).
* Chat scrollback on join. This allows you to see some of the recent discussion in a channel so you have a clue what's going on.
* Extended whois information.
* Device identification - Wii users show up as a joystick, iPod touch show up as an ipod, iPhone as a phone... You get the idea. This makes it easy to tell why someone is typing slowly for instance.
* Parsing of links, channels, smilies, mIRC color, nicknames. (from http://wiki.mibbit.com)
Check it out for yourself, it's definitely much better
