Thanks August,<br><br>
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.
<br><br>
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. <br><br>
Thanks,<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">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.<br>

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? <br><br>
