Re: Hostfile ? (Internet in a Box)

Well, most* users don't know what an IP address is let alone a hosts file or UAC. More than that they don't want to know because they think it's a conspiracy to make them look stupid, a computer is just a magic talkie/typey box to them.

* most is of course unspecified but I've never met a non-IT person who knows what UAC is let alone how to set it up properly.

This is why this link is funny ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDbyYGrswtg
