Very interesting. But honestly I can't figure out if the membership price is per month or per year or what time division?

But... do people join ACM? They seemed like a supreme institution back when I was in the University but rarely hear about them nowadays.

It's $99 per year for regular membership, or $198 per year to get access to all the journal archives etc. There are special rates for students and for those living in developing countries.

I honestly joined because of the O'Reilly Learning membership, but since joining I've found value in the magazine and community.

I also rejoined ACM last year (after a 10 year hiatus), mainly for access to the O'Reilly stuff (what used to be safarionline). Tremendous value, and the monthly ACM mag is actually quite interesting.
