I did several presentations about IPv6 basics myself and there was very
positive feedback but those people had already in interest in IPv6.

In some cases, yes. I've given a few presentations to audiences that
started out downright hostile to IPv6 and many to audiences who
were asking questions like "Can't we just use LSN?".

I always quote an admin form a big German university: "We'll start with
IPv6 in 13 years. It's when my colleague retires."

ROFL... Yep... I'm sure that will apply in several cases, but, there
are places where I do see minds changing.

On rare occasion, acceptance even starts to set in.

Thats true. I did one presentation, had a two hour train ride
with someone from the audience and a couple of days later I got an
email from him that his company network is running IPv6.

But this is one person from a couple of hundred.

I think it is getting better and continuing to talk about it will help.

Thats also true and I'm looking forward to this weekend when I once again
will try to tell people why they should learn IPv6 now.
