Guess I didn't word my post right--I'm waiting for the software to come to my door especially for Windows 7. I got a very good deal on the Windows 7 software and transferring the original software to me (remember I bought a used machine) so I went ahead and got the newest, Windows 7 compatible, version.

Since Windows 7 is fairly new, I'm sitting with my fingers crossed that the bugs are worked out of the software BEFORE it hits my place. The computer is nearly next to the machine but that brings up a question that I think I know the answer to but will ask anyway. The original order strung the crossover cable along the ceiling and said she was told it had to be above the machine...but then she said "you don't want anybody stepping on the cable." So, I'm guessing she didn't mean the cable has to be higher than the machine in order to work...just for protecting the cable, right? Also, Roland and Ed, I still haven't figured out how to get signed up for Amaya Chat list...when I go to the site you send me too the only thing I can sign up for is this list. Kathy
