To all the IPv6 proponents here: Don't tell users what one *can* technically do. We've read it a thousand times, it's getting annoying. Tell users what the advantage of switching to IPv6 is *now* for home or SOHO scenarios.
Just so.
PS: FTR, I know a lot about IPv6, but then that's part of my job -- my company does network consulting. But I don't think that's necessary for home and SOHO users, or even for sysadmins in larger companies that don't have to manage networks. And no, I can't see any reason at all why people like Carlos should switch before their ISP offers them full IPv6 connectivity. I surely won't do in my home network.
Yep. I'm curious about IPv6, but if I can't even connect to my printer, I don't see that I gain anything. It may be because I know nothing about it, but that will be the case for most people.

Governamental organisations (usa, in) are forced to have their information they distribute on V6. For usa it is for both v4 and v6. But in india they are not allowed to start new services on v4..... So _if_ you have any connections with organisations in india, you might already be confronted with "unreachable" sites. otoh, if you are a contractor doing business for organisations in either of those countries, you will simply be forced, or loose contracts. If neither applies to you, well, there is is enough sand around ;-> It certainly looks farfatched to have an IPv6-enabled printer, at least for the end user. But otoh, for a large organisation with printers that otherwise would be natted, for a service point-of-view it might be handy to be able to reach them all direcly. But that probably doesn't apply to you, i presume ;-) For us, mere mortals in the old world, where ripencc has more than enough reserves, we just have time to get prepared.
