I write this to point out a disturbing trend that I am noticing (at least in the US). The divide between the computer users that actually know how a computer and TC/IP works is deepening among the young adults coming out today. I am talking about the most very basic understanding of TCP/IP. Now with the coming of IPv6 the vast majority of computer users will be completing lost in the transition even some tech companies will be lost because people seem to be ignoring IPv6.
I believe the IVP6 transition will be much worse then that stupid year 2000 fiasco. Most computer users here don't even know what I am talking about. Bob, Frank and the other moderators know what I am talking about but the every day users here will have to look up IPv6 information to join this discussion even though their OS X machine is already ready. I cringed at so called tech experts users saying (a couple of months ago) to fix a networking problem on OS X by disabling IPv6 to fix a networking problem. The real problem probably resided in their network setup including Hubs, Switches and Modems not able to handle IPv6.
