[RE-wrenches] NEC Plus

[August Goers]

Drake -



Yea, you can always cancel the subscription if it isn't to your liking. A
number of us use it around the office here and some are dead set on the hard
copy while others like the searchable online version... Good luck. -August

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

We subscribed to NECplus about a month ago. At the time they were giving a
free hard copy of the code book along with the subscription which is a great
deal. I would definitely recommend signing up if they are still offering
that deal. It's always nice being able to flip through a real book but the
online search capability is quite good. Searching for "disconnect" or
"ground electrode," for example brings up fast results which are easy to
hone in on.  I'm getting used to it now and I really like it. The benefit is
that you can login at any time wherever you have internet and check out the
code. Then you can print out relevant sections if needed.

Best, August

Has anyone subscribed to the NEC Plus on line service?  The NFPA won't be
selling the NEC on the CD ROM this cycle.  They do have a pdf version, but
that doesn't seem as useful.  How does the NEC Plus work for a searchable
and printable NEC Handbook?
