i didnt know you were running a multiple programs, i thought you have hoster running on diff. comp. just in case the show pc shuts down..my mistake i'm sorry, but it's always a good idea to have a back-up .

oh ok Jim, i gotcha now...sorry.
Ya know i have come to the conclusion...a computer is like an automobile. If ya take care of'em, and don't mess with'em under the hood..they will run forever. I have an old pickup truck i plow snow around here with 225,000 miles on it. Got an old HP 6 year old computer that i use with microstudio, and KHPro, that's still working.yeah..i know..i know. Now..what did i do with that Sony Beta video machine tape of batman......

i have a 7 or 8 yrs. old Dell Inspiron 1000 laptop, and i dont have any problems with it, still running and it's still fast i might add, as a matter of fact i have my 2nd copy of MS on it and the only thing i did to it was upgrade the hhd from 40g to 250g my 4 yr. old daughter uses it now.( got this laptop before she was born)

Billyo, I remember quite a few years ago when i was the only one around my areas of playing using a computer and Hoster. I was showing it to someone who was still using disc, and the first thing said was, "well, what are you going to do if your computer fails". i replied, "the same thing you are going to do if your disc player fails, i'm pulling out the backup system".
you are so right about backup, sometimes i'm a thousand miles from home, so backup is most important.
