In 2003 it was clear we would run out of IPv4 addresses. NAT was already very common. Linksys WRT54G routers were sweeping the residential market. The blaster worm hit in 2003 and upended the way Microsoft thought of security and Internet security. They embarrassingly had to rely on Linux powered devices to do packet filtering in front of Windows Update to keep it online. Most of that news coverage seems scrubbed from the Internet. Brings back memories of using a PCMCIA Cisco Aeronet card to do war driving after watching "theBroken" featuring Kevin Rose.
