I think that it might be worth a try.  I have had good responce from ACMHELP
as long as I ask for a confermation from them.  I must admit that while I am
not as displeased with the new CACM format as some, and I am getting tired
of this thread, I too am not pleased with it and its use of fonts and "cute
pictures".  I personally would like this thread to end here and those who
wish to continue it take it to ACMHELP.
