wow

No Eire is Irish(Gaelic) for Ireland....

:)

Thanks for the answer ya there is there are many places in the US with names from other places. It can get confussing with some of them when you dont know if someone means here or another country.

i c

it's weird thou because it DEFINITELY is named after here with that Gaelic spelling..

oh i spose its like the way Americans pronounce Mahony (ma - heh- ney) as (ma - ho - ney) (as in Police Academy lol) so for years i thought that was an Italian name eheh

There is a place in the USA (could have been Australia though) called Birmingham, just like in the UK...

im pretty sure there's one in Australia too

also almost every country which was colonised by the British has a 'Kingstown' or a 'Queenstown' - Jamaica has a Kingston, and so does Dublin (althou it's not called that anymore)

    • Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again
    • Broadcom: dreadful company who is destroying VMware by pricing it out of the market.
    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
