Host without Hoster?

[CerealKiller]

Wow that got kinda heated there!! I just finished my new books and took the time to organize my discs in 8 100 disc holders so there numbers whould match those in my books. Can you guess why i took the time to do this? Yes its so just in case something happens I can go back to discs, and i always have a cdg player here so people can bring their own cdg's in. What did some of you that said you would cancel do before you had hoster? One phrase comes to mind

"The Show Must Go On"

if you do not believe in this i do not believe you are in this for the right reasons.

I thin I am the only one so far that has said "I will not let the show go on without HOSTER, a compliment to Hoster, however, the show will go on because I will pay someone else to do the work without HOSTER . I am just to pleased with Hoster to do without.

But it doesn't have to be with me, My question wasn't "will the show go on or not", It was, "Will it go on without Hoster and without me?" I have backup discs (1000's like Lonny, yes), and I also have backup DJ's like Lonny and you that are more than willing to work for less than me shuffling around discs all night, and on those rare nights (hasn't happened yet, though) that I am w/o Hoster, I stay home and let the disc shufflers strut their stuff. As for me, I'll stay home with Hoster and relax.

Don't really need the money, or the shuffling. that bad,

Thanks MTU for the program.

Why would I make less money 'shuffling' discs? Around here it's quite the opposite unfortunately, the computer users charge less as a rule - but then many of them are also running illegal libraries to boot.

Bryant, Again i wholeheartedly agree with you. My last post was strictly bait, and, guess who responded. Now Hoster gets less money in Tacoma than disc users. Guess it's who uses it. I'll make sure this is my last response to this thread, don't respond to many anyway, but sometimes this gets interesting.
Thanks to all who listened anyway.

You sure have a knack of taking things out of context. I didn't say Hoster users, I said computer users in general - but the ones that charge less generally have illegal libraries. Didn't understand the making less money using discs, you charge what you are worth and what the market will pay. A kj could make the same money using discs & players as they could with Hoster - depends on what they charge. He made a statement that a disc user makes less, it's only true if the disc user charges less.

The poll asked:
Will I CANCEL the show
or
Will I revert to disks

I do not have employees so if I don't play, I don't get paid. Karaoke is my only bread and butter so I really do need the money and shuffling disks is not all that difficult, I did it for three years before Hoster. I have the three computeers with Hoster listed in my signature at my shows and another that stays home so using disks will never be an issue but I would do it if needed.

Yeah, I see, Mindonstrike. I don't have any employees either and also don't get paid if I don't play. I think I and a few others on here just got too spoiled to do it without Hoster. One time it was close, as my show computer was in the shop and my backup was acting funny.

I remember saying "Sheesh, what'll I do if this thing craps out and I have to go out to the truck and grab all those disks and cdg player."

Just a frightful thought at the moment.
