The 'free' journals that came with membership were the ones I didn't want and never read, while the ones I had to pay extra for were the ones I did want. I could not justify paying the money for a membership that did so little for me. It wasn't so bad as a student, but after I graduated it became too expensive. -- A good bureaucracy is the best tool of oppression ever invented. Richard Shetron USERFXLG@mts.rpi.edu multics@rpi.edu
