there a big issue with IBM system Journal and IBM journal of research and development
they are not free any longer...
once upon a time they were free and available to everybody
after that for a very short period the were available and the price was around 3$ for each article
( the preface was free )
now some IBM idiot decided to handle the whole stuff to IEEE and the net result of the operation
is that each article costs 30$ ( even the useless preface )
Somebody in IBM seems just interested to sponsor ( with our money ) IEEE
or is trying to make access to IBM culture very difficult
for an occasional need 30$ is really a waste of money!
cheers
