About this point.  Why are the ACM and IEEE packaging their journals
this way now?  I think it is a waste of plastic, and doesn't help
the environment any.  Now that I think about it, I think BYTE comes
that way too.  What is going on in the magazine industry?  Is it
time for us readers to say "stop doing this"?
