LOVE my local computer guys (Richman Poorman Computers in Everett, Washington YAY!) - Took my shuttle in yesterday afternoon at about 2 p.m. They call me this morning at 11 a.m., it is repaired. Apparently there was some little "cable" inside that had a bad connection - which would explain why it would sometimes boot right up and sometimes hesitate for what seemed forever.
So, even though I was prepared to use player and CDGs tonight, I'm back in Hoster business again...PHEW... Will bring shuttle in the house after tonight's show and do a backup, then get my backup lappy ready to go.
It's nice to have the option of using CDGs if I ever have to, but will do my best to make sure that never happens (all the newest CDGs [probably 40 discs) on the computer have NOT been assigned CDG #'s so I was panicking at the prospect of finding new stuff on CDGs -
