You're gonna get this thread locked. Mine may have been suggestive, but at least I had something non-lockable beneath it. :disgust:

It is used to retrieve information about you such as what you put for your name/email/how long you have been idle and your finger reply which in mIRC is located in options>IRC>Messages. HTH :)

Finger yourself and see waht kind of info it sends back. I forget what it tells you on IRC, but on a Unix box it'll send back user info.. Like when the person last logged in, last read mail, last got mail, info in the GECOS field in the passwd file..

finger is still alive?

sheeesshh, i thought it's been hung in the unix hall of fame. I don't know what irc's specific features are, but it typically displays information about your account (name, ip, etc). It's like 'profile' in yahoo chat.

Remember to wash your hand afterward!

I thought this thread was going to be about you getting picked in a police line up.

LOL! That's the first commercial for a movie I've ever seen that gives you absolutely no idea what the movie is actually about.

it just gets information about yourself. not really harmful (when just used as a simple finger of course)
