The following e-mail arrived in the mailbox of every CS grad student. I got two copies, even.

Tell all of your friends!!!.
Silicon Graphics is looking to hire approximately 300 college graduates this year, and we are targeting Princeton in a big way. We are hoping that the student response will be overwhelming, but we will need your help by posting this message. Any comments and information on additional contacts would be much appreciated.
Silicon Graphics, the "Best Computer Company on the Planet" is looking for students interested in engineering careers. If you would like to work in an exciting and dynamic environment, applying the latest technologies in systems analysis, design, development, and deployment, contact Karen Van der Vort (karenvdv@corp.sgi.com) for more info.
We will be holding an information session at the Nassau Inn in the Nassau Room on October 16, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. It will be a casual event, providing you with a chance to learn about Silicon Graphics and the current positions available in engineering. Food and refreshments will be served, and we will be raffling some of our favorite toys.
We look forward to seeing you there!!!

Princeton University is looking to graduate approximately 30 undergrads and a handful of grad students, and we are targetting industry in a big way. We are hoping the corporate response will be overwhelming, but we will need your help by reposting this blatant spam. Since big corporate HR departments usually misplace resumes, any insider contacts would be much appreciated.
Princeton University, with the "Most Nobel Laureats on the Planet" is producing students interested in over-paying careers. If you've got a comfy and pampering environment, applying the latest Nerf technologies in personnel warfare development and deployment, post to as many Usenet newsgroups as possible so we can find out all about it.
We will be crashing your information sessions at the Nassau Inn in the Nassau Room on October 16, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. It will be a great event, providing us with a chance to drink free beer and hang out with our friends. Tiny hot-dogs in tiny buns, microscopic quiches, and other hors d'oeuvres will be gratefully consumed, and we'll be happy to abscond with our favorite toys.
We look forward to using more exclamation points!!!
