[comp.lang.scheme] IEEE CS membership cost

chaynes@IUVAX.CS.INDIANA.EDU (Chris Haynes) (03/06/90)

In a previous note on balloting for the draft IEEE Scheme standard, I
stated that ACM members could join the IEEE Computer Society for $13.
I was misinformed.  The cost for 6 months of Computer Society
membership is $23.50.  They don't take 12 month membership
applications at this time of year, and ACM members only get a break if
they join the IEEE proper, which is considerably more expensive.
Once more, you should be an IEEE or Computer Society member if you
wish to ballot on the Scheme standard.

I have been an ACM member for years.  Recently, when I joined the IEEE Computer
Society, I got a $5.00 break because I was a member of the ACM.  I didn't have
to join the IEEE itself.

Hey, $5.00 is $5.00!
