What happend to the USB Mini Network Module approach to securing a single running copy?
I've been DJ'ing with a computer for two years. Because of that rare occasion when a computer won't boot up or an ide cable wiggles off from bouncing around the back of the van or a "driver not found" error or what ever else that can go wrong, and does, (you all know how "windows" can be) I have two identical rackmount computers (a black one and a beige one)and bring them both to my jobs (I leave one in the van...Just in case). I keep the data drives and partitions syncronized.
My feeling is what good are mirrored drives if they're both screwed up from a bad installation or a driver update gone bad or whatever? You now have two screwed up drives instead of one. To each his own I guess.
(The customers don't know how much they appreciate this.)
Anyway, I rely so heavily on working by computer these days, Its worth it to me to have a "whole computer" backup rather than just a drive.
Back to the point....
While contemplating on purchasing Hoster, part of my decision process was based on my being able to take the USB module
($42 respectfully) from one machine to the other. I thought it was a great idea.
Now...frankly I'm a little disconcerted with the loss of this feature.
(Coincidently I got another USB thing ($42) for the "Karaoke Suite 4" so I can move from the super duper living room computer to the not so super at all bedroom computer when the kids kick me off.)
I'm sure they have their reasons for "changing their mind". But I feel a little like I got the rug pulled out from under me.
Anybody want to buy a couple of USB things?
ADMIN NOTE: You can now (mid February 2004) install Hoster on 2 computers for SHOW and BACKUP. You can also install Karaoke Home Producer on 2 computers for use.
