I use it all of the time when I'm at home in the evenings. It slows me down though when I want to post and use a code reference.

This is the CA Bldg Stds Comm. website - these are the CA Codes and are free to download onto your computer.

The CA Elect. Code is the NEC with some revisions - almost all the revisions have to do with hospitals, institutions, etc. [yes, there are a very few minor revisions elsewhere but these are in parenthesis so you can tell the code is added....I don't know of any section of the NEC that is deleted....some agencies just don't adopt some sections]....

So, with the CA Elect. code you really do have a complete copy of the NEC available on your laptop...all the other codes are there as well [they use the IBC as their model bldg. code and the 'U'-codes for their plumbing and mechanical ['Uniform' codes vs. Int'l. codes].

I put all the codes on a USB device and carry them with me.

Yes, it can take quite awhile to get to the actual article you're looking for sometimes.

I have to read and try to memorize the exact wording of an Article since you cannot copy and paste from the site. I think next code cycle I will have to invest in the CD version.
