Bryant,
I could not participate in this poll.
I could not choose the first answer because I would never cancel a show. If my both of my computers went down (very unlikly) and I couldn't buy one (Wal-Mart has plenty) I would pull out my guitar and entertain for the evening.
I could not choose the second answer because most of my discs were purchased after I started using Hoster and are not cataloged so I have no way to access the library. I could pull out my player and use the discs that I cataloged before I stared using Hoster but my song selection would be reduced to the point where my show would be disapointing, not a good thing.
If the client insisted on Karaoke I would find another Karaoke host and give them the gig. I would never bail on a client.
I've been making a living recording/entertainig with computers for over eight yers now and never canceled a gig or lost a job due to computer failure. I work hard to keep my computers in top working order. If something starts acting strange, I jump on it and fix it ASAP.
My discs do nothing but gather dust and I like it that way.
I hope this is a better answer than I gave here:
