Play the game and then in less than 50 words, tell them how a Canon EOS 500D can capture your experiences.
I'm not sure if the game points even come in consideration, but the text is definitely important.

I love this camera, I decided to buy it during Comex, but i'm going to try my luck on the referral section. You can help me by sending me your email address to cornflict@hotmail.com, and i'll make a referral to you, so i'll get some extra points. Please help me out! Many thanks!

It's a simple survey about laptops and the Toshiba Satellite M500. But since there is one 1 laptop to be won, don't pin your hopes on this one.

Now speaking of Toshiba Satellite laptops... Toast is one too! 4 months after sending to the repair centre.... I traded Toast in for a new Acer PC!!
