what is the currency of ireland?

Any idea? well before there was the euros, ireland was using pounds, and pennies, and before that, celtic rings. i googled the above question, and got the ans from the 1st link available. not wanting to believe microsoft is so horrible, i msnsearched (sounds so much less cool than googled) it, all i got from msn search was

"Service Unavailable - DNS failure

and mind, you "what is the currency of ireland?" is the advertisement placed outside queensways shopping centre for msn search.

sigh

anaother thing to note, i get a very perverse joy everytime i find out that my friend's computer died due to virus, or lost all their memory or all of their files, or having problems one way or the other, internet, digital cameras, printers. so far, i had to help a couple of friends with their pc, known 7 friends whose comp got wiped out in the past 5 months, and a dozen more with problems. hahah me and my mac buddies are so sniggering away, enjoying every moment of hassle free computer usage.
