premise: I first was introduced to mIRC way back in 1998 , when I used to frequent my friend 's ( senior in high school ) internet cafe , located on Broadway road . I started out not really being interested in chatting but soon got hooked on it in a matter of weeks . When I managed an internet cafe in 1999 - 2000 , the first thing I installed was mIRC . Why did the writer get hooked on mIRC in a matter of weeks ?
hypothesis: Because they were introduced to it in 1998 .
