The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
If you don't mind the annoying pop up box, mIRC will work wether you register your copy or not. That's the nice part about mIRC -- they don't force you to pay the 20 bucks. It would be nice if you did though.
As far as I know, IRC needs registration after 1 month, I installed it, and it is written there. So it will fuction still after that period? If so, which features are lost after trial period?
I haven't used IRC in the past few months, but it use to be that when your trial period ran out, you would just get the pop up box reminding you to pay the registration fee. You didn't loose any features or anything after your trial period is up.
Unless they've recently changed it, its not like standard trial programs. Most programs will completely stop working after the trial period, but mIRC is completely 100% functional after the trial period.
I'm not suggesting to skip out on the registration fee. I was posting this information in case you can't pay the 20 dollars right away.
