Finally squid has been updated to work with IPv6. I am now in the process of testing this out. This is the ultimate solution to getting IPv6 working within your network. The proxy can work out the correct type of connection required and thus provide transparent access to either IPv4 or IPv6 hosts that it services.
Currently, anytime I wish to access an IPv6 site I have to disable my proxy because it doesn't understand. This is a pain and deflates my experience of IPv6. Now that squid supports IPv6 I will be able to leave my proxy on and leave the choice of protocol to the proxy depending on what type of address records it gets back from DNS.
So here's hoping I can get the beta of squid 3.x working with IPv6 support.

Grrr, ie Sucks!
Can someone who actually develops and uses IE fix it!!
When I do a shortcut to load a URL I would really just like to type it straight into the location bar. Why the need for a separate box? And when I inevitably make a mistake in the typing of said URL please don't make me reach for the mouse to click to correct it. Why can't I just hit my shortcut again and fix the few characters that I mistyped?
This is something where firefox has got it right. Keeping it simple. No wonder it is stealing market share from IE.
Anyway that's my gripe for the day.
