    BF>    Don't hold back; tell us how you *really* feel about IPv6.   
      
   My previous post should have made that clear, but ... you're slow, so...   
      
   At this time, it's a "the sky is falling" issue, promoted by people who    
   wear skinny jeans and no socks, who continually wring their hands in    
   angst, and try to impress upon the "masses" just how intense this issue    
   is.   
      
   In reality, IPv4 *continues* to work just fine, and will for a long time    
   to come.  In a couple of generations there may be a need for a    
   "changeover", but there is no emergency pending.  It reminds me of the    
   frenzy over the Y2K "issue", which turned out to be largely.... hype.   
      
   I've got better things to do than worry about how my grandchildren may    
   need to configure their routers one day.   
      
   Hope this helps.
