When I've been an IEEE or ACM member, I've found their focus to be
overly "academic" compared to my interests.  More about the state
of university research than actual real "stuff, and I've been happier
with the (free!) trade publications like EETimes, EDN, and so on.

(However, the 2000 bubble burst was not kind to the technical
publication business, and things seem to have changed somewhat for
the worse in the trade pubs...)
