I wouldn't be too bothered by anything in the CACM -- it used to be a
decent journal, but now it's just a mediocre magazine that keeps
getting worse.  Other ACM journals are maintaining their high
standards, however.

It used to be that CACM was similar to IEEE Computer; now it's closer
to Datamation or Byte, and the best reason I know of to join IEEE
instead of the ACM.
