Fetch is a Macintosh program for transferring files. It uses the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and therefore allows a networked Macintosh to transfer files with any connected machine that supports FTP. Access to files is, of course, limited to those files to which the user has access privileges. For the novice Internet user there are plenty of public access files to peruse.

Homer IRC stands for Internet Relay Chat. It's a way for people to talk with thousands of other people, all over the world, in real time (or something close to real time anyway). There are machines around the world known as IRC servers, whose purpose it is to shuttle around all the things that everyone is saying. IRC users interact with an IRC client. Homer is an IRC client written for the Mac in an attempt to use some of the Mac's graphical features to create an easy-to-use and powerful interface to IRC.

Ircle Ircle is another IRC client. It's prefered over Homer by power users because it's interface is cleaner and it supports more IRC commands. It's got a much higher learning curve than Homer though so wait untill you're comfortable with Homer before moving on to Ircle.

Anarchie Pronounced Anarchy. Anarchie is an application that lets you download and upload files via the File Transfer Protocol over the Internet. Opening a directory on a remote FTP server -- whether it's a Mac, UNIX machine, or a PC -- brings up a window remarkably similar to the ones you'd see in the Finder. You can drag files and folders between Anarchie windows and the desktop for quick uploads and downloads. Dragging files from an Anarchie window to the Trash will delete them from the remote server, just as if that server was your own hard drive.

MacTalk is an application that lets you "talk" with another person via computer in a real-time conversational manner. It is like having a telephone conversation, except you are typing to one another instead of speaking.
