Okay, Greg. Lts more code to check out. And you're right: the AHJ is a very good idea.

As for "I have heard of running a new grounded circuit in the accessible area and tapping off that with fished grounding conductors...to the ungrounded outlets through the wall where they are somewhat protected" -- if I am able to fish a ground, usually I can fish the entire NM cable (as you suggest in your next paragraph).

"Most consumer products have 2 prong plugs anyway": I am looking at the adapter for this laptop rigth now and it is 3-prong! smile
