    Although they thought that when it was IPv4 too. First people had 1 line, now people have 2 voice lines, a fax line, a data line, cable modem....

    Well, I remember hearing something along the lines of having an IP address for every square foor of the planet. I don't think we'll run out anytime soon unless we start giving the adresses to nano-scale devices.
