I spend much of my time talking to groups of people about this. I have managed to get several members of such groups from denial to bargaining and sometimes eve depression in a single session.
I did several presentations about IPv6 basics myself and there was very positive feedback but those people had already in interest in IPv6.
In some cases, yes. I've given a few presentations to audiences that started out downright hostile to IPv6 and many to audiences who were asking questions like "Can't we just use LSN?".
I always quote an admin form a big German university: "We'll start with IPv6 in 13 years. It's when my colleague retires."
ROFL... Yep... I'm sure that will apply in several cases, but, there are places where I do see minds changing. Owen
On rare occasion, acceptance even starts to set in.
Thats true. I did one presentation, had a two hour train ride with someone from the audience and a couple of days later I got an email from him that his company network is running IPv6.
But this is one person from a couple of hundred.
I think it is getting better and continuing to talk about it will help.
Thats also true and I'm looking forward to this weekend when I once again will try to tell people why they should learn IPv6 now.
