    Actually I like the format of the CACM.

  I think part of the problem people have with the CACM is not
knowning what its purpose is.  I view the CACM as a general CS
magazine for all members.  I think the deep, 'scholarly' articles
belong in other journals.  CACM should (& it does) publish items
that hopefully are of interest to all members.

As for the change in format, it was needed to bring the magazine
up to date.  I don't have any trouble reading it.
