IPv6 is still a long ways from production deployment. Some protocols are
still in the experimental stage or pre-experimental stage. Likewise, I have
not found a supported IPv6 dual stack implementation for Windows 2000 not
that I have no idea if I can run it through Earthlink.

There is also the problem that companies want extensive experience and they
want people to get experience from an invisible gremlin named Not Me. There
was even a company here in Cleveland who this past June advertised that they
wanted somebody with 2 years of experience with Windows 2000 - they were too
stupid to realize that Windows 2000 was not really released until October of
2000. Corporate stupidgroupthink will probably stretch out implementation of
IPv6 for possibly as long as 30 years!!!!
