About looksharp script for mIRC
(Since year 2000)
looksharp is an IRC script for mIRC (IRC client) from Argentina coded at year 2000 by Hernando Furlan (aka Amaz|ng^).
looksharp was very popular from 2000 until 2005, a period in which the use of IRC chat rooms was over from instant messenger clients. Today looksharp is deprecated because it's no longer developed, however a lot of people still use it around the globe and it runs flawlessly under actual platforms.

Curiosities
- The very first looksharp version was officially released at 1st January of 2000. That's why "New millenium" appears frecuently.
- looksharp was banned from the most important IRC network (like DalNet, Undernet, Microsoft Comic Chat) during its highest boom period. However its popularity never decreased, unlike the situation was favorable.
- At the beginning this software was named "Amaz|ng-Xtreme", later I decide to name it "looksharp". I think it was a very good choise, don't you think so? :)
