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?
