I used to say that if I won the lottery, I'd still keep my job (as I 
love it). Dealing with IPv6 and the fact that decades apparently isn't 
enough for a standards body and a small set of corporations to design 
and implement a protocol which needs to do everything the old one did 
(minimum) and more (advisable), I've recently reconsidered.

Here's to winning the Lottery. Then I won't need the Internet. :)
