<nettime> Fwd: Our deepest sympathy and support

[Phil Graham <phil.graham@mailbox.uq.edu.au>]

Following is what looks like a personal message from Carly and the gang at HP.

Of course it's spam, and contains a whole lot of HP hype, as well as 
humanitarian outlets.

I'm not sure what to make of it, other than it being another exemplar of 
opportunism.

regards
Phil

Dear Phil,

This week we have been witnesses to a terrible tragedy. The searing

events, HP people have been focused on helping our customers, helping
each other and reaching out to those in need. HP has contributed to

HP has also made equipment donations to the New York Attorney
General's Office, New York Police Department and the New York City
