What blows about this hobby

... is having people over for some fun, drinks and games and you turn on your MAME cabinet only to find it's dead.  :(

That happened to me on the DAY of the superbowl...  My hard drive died.

Luckily I had thought ahead and made a clone of my drive.  I swapped it out and Voila, up and running in minutes.  With hard drive prices these days, it pays to clone it and put in on a shelf somewhere.  I'd go NUTS if I had to configure everything again!

On the other hand, if it's another piece of hardware that's the cause, yes...  That blows, since there is no quick solution.

Good luck on getting her back up.

Firing up the cabinet only to find that, for whatever reason, all the usb devices got remapped again, so you're sitting there with people wanting to play while your frantically trying to remap enough keycodes to make at least a few things playable.

and you hear whispers of "My xbox is a lot easier than this"....  :-[

Not having the time or money (or sometimes talent) to do all the awesome projects that fill my head.  :-\
