Firewall vs entry in Hosts file ????
What is the difference (that is better) between having an entry in the "hosts" file, or a "rule" in a firewall application when trying to block inbound traffic from a known website or company.

We had Windows 2 on a 286 PC with 386 KB of RAM for which we paid over a hundred bucks for the extra 128 KB. That is 41,450,777th as much RAM as in the system I'm typing this on. That was an upgrade from our Commode'd Or 64. Cutting edge at the time. I don't know if Window 1 was ever seen in the wild. We used Word not World for Windows which was not developed at the time. Lotus 123 and a db program from Borland I don't recall the name. I wrote software on their Turbo Pascal.
