Another reason I'm for changing over receptacles:
New TVs, computers, electronic equipment all have a three prong plug.
I don't know why I forgot about that since I just had to deal with it. This is a relatively new house, but they cut the grounds back on the romex, twisted them together, and put in ungrounded receptacles. Luckily they didn't cut them back far enough that I couldn't throw a tail on there. They also removed the ground screws from the switches.

The company wiring the homes probably wanted to get out of there. Or the guy wiring that place sucked!
OOO.. I was just thinking about that code. Maybe they added it to the codes in the county by me. That would be an addendum right?
