Unlike others who were burned by MCS, I got a part of my order and was charged only for the received part. I was not too particular about following consumer guidelines about mail order simply because I was invloved with other things. I SHOULD have called after 30 days but sisn't. The fact that *THEY* called me was the kicker. Maybe somebody back there has been reading the nets and is kicking ass to get their service up to reasonable expectations. (Oh well, :-)). Anyway, I have now tried Go Amigo for a copy of TxED Plus to see how well they do.
