There are some drawbacks: I joined IEEE to get access to all the Timing and Frequency papers, and I thought I would get access to all their papers - no such luck. Even as a member you have to buy the premium package to get access to most of the stuff - that's after paying several 100,- $. On top of that you constantly get loads of solicitations about all sorts of insurance etc they are pushing. Lastly, as a permanent resident who went to high-school, and University here and waited 23 years for our residency I was shocked to see IEEE write a whole bunch of xenophobic editorials in EDN magazine etc during the dot-com bust talking about why the Government should cut down the H1B visa program etc and send the 'visitors' home to preserve the US Engineers' way of life. Those same engineers are now running the start-ups in India and China that are making our life harder. I consequently left IEEE; I get better info and help from the members of this group anyway's! bye, Said ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
