I have recently come back to doing karaoke shows after a long illness. I have posted many times about problems I am having with Hoster 4.32. Mainly Hoster shutting itself off when it first starts up, and then randomly when it finishes a song. I have been accused of bantering Dale, and insulting the Hoster name.
I have been a MTU customer for 8 years. A lot of my frustration comes from my own lack of computer savvy, and not having the know how to fix many of the problems. For the record I would like to state, Dale has been my savior on many, many occasions. He has even called me at home to help me out . Also I have spoken to David Cox on the phone and I think he is an upstanding guy. Fortunately for both of you, it looks like I will not be bothering you very much in the future. You see after tonight, I am just going back to being retired. I was hired to do karaoke at a local country club, for very good $$$$. Well tonight was my first night there. I have been preparing for this night for 6 weeks, new speakers, 4 new microphones , new speaker stands. Completely rebuilt computer. I sure was styling, (looking' feeling' good) Crazycarl was getting his life back. Only one problem, when Hoster shut itself off, for the 3rd time in 2 1/2 hours. The club manager walks to my table picks up a microphone, apologizes to the crowd. Then He turns to me and says he isn't paying me to fix my computer, I should have done that before I started the Job. and then he sent me home. You see when a karaoke host is having problems with any of his programs, It makes it look like he is incompetent, That He is too cheap to replace aging equipment. You can have all top of the line equipment, brand new out of the box, and if you have a couple computer hick-ups, or program bugs, the Host looks like a fool. I was never so embarrassed as a karaoke host in my 12 years as I was tonight. I still think Hoster is the best program available, and the people on the forum bend over backwards to help. My last question to David, Dale is when you knew my program was shutting down, why did you not suggest me downgrading to 4.1?, 4.2? Or whichever is the most stable of them all. I would have gladly traded less features, for more stability??
Thank you All for what you have done for me in the past.
Dale, David I still love Ya
