> 128 bits ought to be enough for any IP address, right?

Here's something I find really amusing. In the late 90s, when IPv6 was being introduced, the joke was that 128 bits would suffice until we all had massively parallel wrist watches. Which would never happen, certainly not in our lifetimes.

The iPhone was released in 2007.
