Kathy, I think this might be where you sign up. http://www.amayausers.com/list/default.asp As far as the cable, no, it can run anywhere you want it, it is electricity, it will run up hill or downhill. ours are on the floor, so its all good. I believe the discussion was had earlier in the month, or last month, but you can run Amaya OS on windows 7. Windows 7 has a new feature that I believe you can right click on the program icon and select the compatibility mode and select to have it run in an earlier version of windows such as XP. and it will work fine. that way every time you click the icon it knows to use that program in the compatible mode that you chose. I'm sure you will be able to get up and running with what you have in mind. Good Luck!

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.
