i built a dedicated computer for hoster. i never have had any problems while doing an upgrade.
i never upgrade the minute the newest version comes out, i sit back and see what problems arise here first . then i decide if im going to upgrade to the latest version or wait until the problems are worked out.
i got to be honest with you bryant, i do have a cd-g player from before but i dont have it hooked up incase of an emergency.
the only problem i have encountered with my computer was one time the wave volume got turned way down (dont know how it happened) and it sounded like crap, i was to busy that night to be thinking quick. the next morning when i came in i sat down and realized it was the wave volume being to low.
but to really answer your question, if i were doing gigs on the road, i would have my back up computer in the car or a plan B for keeping the night going.
i guess the best set for hoster would be 2 laptops with an external drive for Kma's they are light weight and easy to transport. this way if one laptop fails you only have to fire up the back up one.
