Bill and all, FWIW, I agree that IPv4 is going to be around for at least 5 years longer. I love 8Tracks BTW. >;) So if you need a good 8Track player, or recorder for that matter, I have several of each still new in the box! I also have three 8Track dubbers... I'll consider a trade for a /24 IPv4 for either one of the new in the box 8track player or even one of the 8track dubbers. Seems a fair trade to me.
