LOL Chuck. That's not very nice, but...funny! :P

Sorry to hear you are stuck with Windows 'cause of "the man". Haven't
used it for a rather long time now, so I dunno if these still even
exist, but mIRC I think was the last I used (before that Pirch rings a
bell).

There are great Web-based interfaces if you are maintaining a server
somewhere - my favorite there is the node implementation called "The
Lounge". https://thelounge.chat/docs Nice thing is it'll stay connected for
you so you won't miss messages.
