- Fixed QuickConnect was not saving its data past form.close()
- QuickConnect now checks that the port is a valid range
- QuickConnect now catches any errors from int.Parse() to check for a bad int
- Put these changes in ConnectionManager() also
- Changed HistorySize to use the above method of error checking
- Clicking the website on the SplashScreen now brings up lolindrath.com

Version 0.4 - 12/09/04
- Handled IOException in the Connection class incase the server forcible closes the connection during a recv

Version 0.4 - 10/21/04
- Optimized buffer chopping - it now waits until its a third of the size of MaxScrollSize until it chops (so it isn’t trying to chop 9 characters off)
- Fixed buffer chopping - it actually works now and it also chops to the nearest line (in reverse) so you don’t get ugly half chopped text

- Removed the txtInput - I’m no longer going to try to mask the input that way
Version 0.4 - 10/05/04

- Changed Message History around - was inserting into wrong end
Version 0.4 - 9/23/2004
