    So apparently I won a Canon Camera? I guess this must from when I played the EPP game to get a 5% off code when I ordered my XPS.

    "You are receiving this message because you have been selected as an alternate winner in the Dell EPP Summer Instant Win Game!"

    At first I thought it might be one of those 'you've won' and than you click and get hit by ads but I got an email from UPS saying the camera is on its way so SWEET :D

    Thanks, pretty excited to see what model it is. I already own a Canon Powershot series camera so hopefully I get newer version so my dad can keep the old one :)

    Well I was an 'alternate' winner so I guess people who play really dont expect to win and forget they've played.

    haha yeah that reminds me of a time I signed up to win a car at the mall and they actually called me. I was being a smartass and put down I was a doctor and such and such and when they called I had no idea what they were talking about. Too bad I didn't win a car it was just something to get me to buy stuff.

    lol. We use to do stuff like that in school. We'd fill out free trials or whatever with the weirdest names or jokes. On some registration thing for electrical class I put I wanted to be like a nuclear scientist or something, but had no intention of taking math or science courses in College.

    Wow, that is awesome. Good for you.
    What is this 'epp game'? I don't remember seeing such a thing when I ordered my laptop.

    Edit: Oh, nevermind. I see it was a summer thing only.
