They PROMISED they would have it done for me no later than June 23....which we all know was the deadline for 2257 compliance.
Since I sent the $$ I haven't heard a word from them....no response to my ICQ or emails....nothing.
I just filed a dispute with paypal to try and get my money back.
Thankfully we are compliant with 2257, but it's kind of a mess. We have a spreadsheet and a couple of disks with digital records and a file cabinet with paper records....I just wanted the modifications so everything would be nice and neat in one local database that had EVERYTHING we needed.
Thank God I didn't need their work to be finished in order to be compliant and then end up being investigated....I would have been royally fucked.
Anyways, this is your warning not to do business with these guys. They KNEW the deadline for 2257 was June 23 and assured me they would have it done before then....and then disappeared with my cash.

This IS the second side of the story!! Lenny you are absolutely right you were scammed, and so were many others - including us.
Mxdevelopment has an exclusive contract with us. Let me print it to you word for word for anyone that will be reading this.
Contract signed and dated: August 2004
4. CONTRACTOR (mxdevelopment) agrees not to resell, redistribute, reduplicate, or re-license the source code to another party after COMPANY (GenX law) has received the product.
5. CONTRACTOR also agrees not to make any similar 2257 registration software to compete with COMPANY, or sell to another customer after COMPANY has recieved the product.
(***so their sell to you, Lenny, was indeed a breach of this contract)
Mxdevelopment was rewriting the program due to the final regulation as well as in another user friendly language and we were also promised that it would be ready pre: June 23rd. We have also not heard anything from mxdevelpment, and just found out today that they have been selling our product to others in violation of the contract.
I know this really sucks Lenny, but hopefully at least you can get your money back from paypal, we on the other hand are out a lot more money than $400 and we dont have paypal as a resort to cover our expenses.
Buyers beware.
Lenny, feel free to contact me if you want to discuss this further.
