[RE-wrenches] NEC Plus

[Drake]

Thanks August,

Based on your recommendation, I'm going to subscribe.  They do offer 
the NEC book along with the deal.  This leaves me with an extra 2011, 
as I already bought the spiral bound edition with tabs.

The CD ROM versions I've been getting for well over a decade were 
searchable and printable.  The search feature of each new edition was 
of lower quality than the previous.  With the NEC Plus, we will need 
to pay up each year instead of every three.   Hopefully it has 
features that will make it worth it.

Thanks,

Drake
