The Communications Society mag. comes in a (re-cyclable) paper
envelope, so I see no reason why Spectrum shouldn't come like this. This
would still allow them to enclose "The Institute" and I do not see how
it can be that much more expensive.

I see no reason why we should loose the colour. You do not need glossy
paper for this, in fact I think the illustrations on matte paper look
better, and this kind of paper is re-cyclable. Personally, I like to
get Spectrum, but I would like to see more environmentasl concern
shown. 
How about it, IEEE? Someone from Spectrum must read this newsgroup -
let's hear the reasons for and against from you.
