Author: Guest What a waste of time, money and energy!!
This cd allows you to review the NEC 2005 handbook but you can't print the whole thing to use as a paper hardcover reference, only sections can be printed.
Why pay twice as much for a product that only has half as much value. The paper book version costs half of what this costs and you can photocopy it for reference if you want.
Also included on this disc are "read only" versions of the last three versions of the NEC (again somewhat limited if not altogether useless. Imagine dragging your computer or laptop around with you on a major construction job, ready to pull it out whenever you had a question.. consider that laptop disposable). To top it all off the program only allows two activations, so you can only install it on two computers or activate it twice online ( laptop, work or home totals three... good luck).
This product is definately the result of corporate, copyright infringement paranoia!!
