Well done!  I'm still waiting for my managers to sign off my IMechE 
application... need to remind them again.

Pardon my ignorance, but... in what way is being a member of IEEE (or 
similar) useful?

Depending on who you work for it might be absolutely necessary (eg in 
structural engineering), help you get promoted, or do nothing at all.  It 
will also help you if you decide to apply for a new job.  In the end it just 
proves you are a proper engineer and have demonstrated your ability IRL.

Since I'm studying electronics, the main benefit to me is the bullet point on my
resume :)

(Maybe I can finally get out of banking, now... although with my luck, I'll end
up designing ATMs or something...)

Been an associate member for years. I probably qualify for full 
membership, but never took the time to arrange that.

Keep getting stuff from them. I don't have the money for it, nor the 
time to run around to all the conventions, given that I never landed in 
a job that *actually* involves computers, so... lol

void main () {

     if version = "Vista" {
       call slow_by_half();
       call DRM_everything();
     }
     call functional_code();
   }
   else
     call crash_windows();
}

Congratulations!  That's a very big 'feather in the cap.'
