        I do a lot of Thunderbird filtering, normally this list is
        filtered into the "Fedora" directory, sometimes it seems to pick
        up on something else but that is unusual. I am quite satisfied
        with the way it works.

        I did not realize there was an /etc/hosts file in the Mac, had
        not considered that, just saw it while reading through the stuff
        George sent earlier. Still, I am not comfortable changing stuff
        in the Mac, don't even know what it has for a text editor
        although I'm sure I would find it quickly. But I'm afraid I can
        still get myself in a corner and not know how to fix what damage
        I might do.

        I would prefer to work on the router if possible. I would like
        to find the application that is causing the heavy usage and tell
        her to kill it, I tried to convince her to quit all the
        applications this morning but met with resistance, always
        worried she will lose data, "how will I restart them?" and I am
        no authority!
