If you're going to use a computer to run your karaoke BUSINESS; you need to have at least 2 computers and 2 of everything else while you're at it. EVEN A DESKTOP PC COULD SERVE AS A BACK UP SYSTEM IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.

Yeah, what Bruce said, but more quietly.

Hmmm how do I say something nicely to people that did not say something nice to me. Stating the obvious (maybe you shuld know all the facts before making negative comments) does not help the situation, it may make you feel good to point out someone elses failings if that is how you like your life but it is not constructive nor positive, same goes out to those that agree. Some folks like to help and others take pleasure in hitting people when they are down, or just anytime the mood hits I see. I try to live a positive life and help others when I can, if I have nothing positive to offer to the conversation I remain silent.
Furthermore the gig was on a bus, so I had limited space, had it been held in "normal" venue I would have used players and discs, because I do have all of them. A Desktop would not have worked.

Sorry to offend you, sir. That certainly was not my intent. I thought I was giving you good constructive criticism. Having a back-up computer is like having a spare tire in your car. It's pretty much a necessity if you plan on using a computer to make money. There are many brand new laptops for sale these days for less than $300 that will easily let you run a karaoke show and $300 is a small price to pay to have the ability to keep going when faced with a computer crash.

I don't often stick up for Bruce but he did explain that he didn't mean to upper case the second part of his message. If you look past that, his advise was very good. I always have backup everything with me and good thing, last wedding I did, my show laptop decided to go on strike that night.

Now it falls back on your comment "if I have nothing positive to offer to the conversation I remain silent."

:) ...don't be so sensitive, they just want to make sure you're covered in the future.......they meant well, and the peeps on here are awesome as well as very knowledgeable....we wish you the best.....

Wow! someone's milk is sour.

I do believe you wish me and others the best, you offered help, thank you. Stating the obvious without knowing a persons situation is not help. Again I say thank you to you.
