This goes back a number of years. There was a product that literally
was a cardboard box that contained everything one needed to get started
on the Internet. Just add a modem and a computer, and you were on your
way. No fuss, no "learning curve".
I'm beginning to think that someone needs to create a similar product,
but for IPv6 internet. The Internet service providers would provide the
same sort of kit to get people started. Just add a CSU/DSU (like a
cable modem) and a computer, and you are on your way.
Also, I think we need a *real* book called "IPv6 for Dummies" (maybe
even published by IDG Books) that walks through all the beginner stuff.
There's beginner stuff that I've seen by using a search engine; a
dead-tree book, though, may well be better for Joe Average.
Just my pair-o-pennies(tm)
