Hi, Deedra:

I'm not so sure it's an actual plus, just a reasonable work around when
you need one. But, I've not tried actually working with irssi in the
terminal in real time yet. I just came up with the approach and brewed
it up this past Monday following a disasterous week trying to use the
vms on my air during the annual W3C technical plennary conference.

My intent is to log in during my next few teleconferences and see how it
tracks. I will still have my Linux desktop as my primary IRC session, so
the IRC session on my Air will be a second, expirimental login to the
W3C IRC channel.

I'll be interested to see how well VO keeps up as text scrolls on
screen. I may try to look for something, just to see how effective that
might be. But, come to think of it, I usually depend on Scroll Lock to
freeze the screen when I look for something further back in the
transcript, and I'm not so sure we have that on the Air. Anyone know?

So far, my impression of VO in the Terminal is that it will work, if you
need it to work, but it would never be my first choice. It's no Speakup
for sure.
