GimpChat out?
#71
"4) copy that edited file over the original /etc/hosts (possibly using "sudo")
because:
1) you have a backup of the original, that you can restore at once in case you screw things up badly
2) you have a copy of the modified version in a place that is more likely to be included in your backup procedures(*)
(*) because you have such a thing, haven't you?"

Macs don't use sudo that I know of.
Um, no, I don't have back up. Hoping to get an external drive and get that done one of these days.

#edit...hah, yes we do use sudo.  But...sadly it cannot seem to be able to get the cursor to the bottom, it will only let me type in above the top line, in order to follow these instructions...

"The hosts file will now be open in the Nano text editor.

add the following lines at the bottom:"
