All this talk of Oracle reminds me of how far they were prepared to go to in
the early '90s in an effort to attract new talent.

Located in the Thames Valley area west of London are a lot of computing
companies - IBM, Dec, and HP among others. In the early '90s there was a
lack of people to fill the vacant positions within the IT industry (in the
UK anyway). So Oracle hired a large lorry (sorry, truck:-)) and parked it
outside the offices of other computer companies. Written in big letters on
the side of the truck were the words...

        COME AND WORK FOR ORACLE, CALL THIS NUMBER NOW.

I don't know how successful they were with this enterprise, but it was
certainly different.
