Yep, I wanted to see what this "IPv6 thing" was.  Wasn't any real practical use
then, other than seeing if I could get the animated turtle on kame.net and
other similar tests.  But even back then, IPv6 basically worked (within limits
of implementations).

 MvV> I am impressed. :)

Those were the fun days, kinda like the early days of the Internet, BBSing and
packet radio, where you had to know your stuff and be prepared for a steep
learning curve to get things working.  There was satisfaction in pulling off a
difficult technical challenge. :)
