A couple things I would like to see: Live help for the rest of the country especially on the weekends when most of us have shows and instant online help so that troubles can be addressed. IE find out if it is our problem or MTU's problem.

Always Install ANY version of HOSTER OFFLINE with a FLOPPY or DATASTICK. Save EACH and EVERY VERSION's install on a SEPARATE Floppy/Datastick along with EVERY Version of Hoster.

That way, if you need to reinstall ANY VERSION of HOSTER, you DO NOT EVER need to be ONLINE to do it.

I suggest a DATASTICK. For instance...With current versions, Hoster installs to a HOSTER FOLDER. Well, each NEW VERSION "OFFLINE" INSTALL would cause the PREVIOUS Version info to be OVERWRITTEN.

So, once you perform a DATASTICK OFFLINE INSTALL, and a HOSTER FOLDER is established, RENAME the HOSTER FOLDER to say HOSTERv3312.

Then, when performing a NEW VERSION INSTALL, Hoster WILL NOT see a HOSTER FOLDER and CREATE one.

Continue to RENAME these FOLDER FOR EACH VERSION.

COPY the ALL HOSTER.EXEs onto the Datastick.

This way, if you need to INSTALL ANY VERSION again, simply RENAME the HOSTER FOLDER, of the version that your want to Install, back to HOSTER, double click the Hoster.exe that corresponds to the renamed HOSTER FOLDER, and finish the INSTALL. YOU NEVER NEED TO BE ONLINE TO INSTALL THIS WAY.

I can't imagine NOT having this as a BACKUP way to install!!

The only case that this will not work, is when your Computer Fails and you try to install on a different computer...then, unfortunately, you will need MTU interaction.
