I'm guess you've never actually used Pascal before? (either that or you've never used C).

There are some glaring superficial differences between Pascal and C, and thats about it. I've converted 1000s of lines of Pascal to C with very little effort, the structure can stay _exactly_ the same, just fix the blocks and do some standard find/replace. Try converting BASIC to Pascal or C and get back to me.

Background is similar to GP, learned everything in Pascal, including the old school Mac Toolbox (all Pascal), then one day everything new had to be C, you had to figure it out yourself. Not a big deal though- very similar...

Thanks!

Small, but growing. There will soon be economic pressure for v4 addresses, and it won't take too many people moving to v6 make it worthwhile to maintain dual stack servers.

First hand experience on this one- if you're already using best practices for web hosting, adding v6 addresses is stupid easy, and requires no re-work to your backend. Why _wouldn't_ you add v6, even to capture (or keep from losing) 1% of your traffic?

Right now the reason is: horribly misconfigured dual stack clients will fail when accessing dual stacked servers. Thats what v6 day is for, with most of the large web sites going dual stack for 24 hours, hopefully most of those issues will be brought to the surface. Once people like google see that lost misconfigured dual stack traffic is equal to incoming v6 traffic, they'll switch to dual stack permanently, and the transition will officially begin.
