FYI, there was a weather change about 1980. The CACM format was
changed from a broad-brush topic area of algorithms, design,
inventions, and etc., to a 'software for the layman' format. The
former CACM had some blockbuster things to present, and for people on
the "don't know", provided exciting areas for exploration. Since that
time, the CACM is oft ignored (at least by me) and I agree with your
comments.

Sorry.
