I think it's a great thing that the article was published as there are still
plenty of people NOT in the industry who don't even know that this change is
coming.<br>
<br>
It's certainly forseeable that I will be receiving calls in the close future
from customers who will be skewing their faces when I start to read out an IPv6
address to them.<br>
<br>
People need to be made aware and educated on the change because this is
something that will affect everyone...big and small.<br>
<br>
+10 internets to the publisher for an excellent article.<br>

The whole debate on the correct grammer for 'internet' is a bit pointless
really..at the end of the day.<br>

my opinion, I welcome the move, because for one it means that these nounce kids

when they attempt to get jobs well above there skill level running networks
they shouldn't be allowed near. I mean if you can't convert to hex you can't
really use IPv6 all that well. And that means these kids with their Pass4Sure

noun (like a hotel name), so I'll take one for the team here. However,<br>

Ordinarily it's a pet peeve of mine when people correct me for not using<br>
capital "i". At least I got to inject a clip of a couple of
great shows<br>
