Question "Pop quiz ,what would you do?"

As stated above "Pop quiz ,what would you do?" , Just received my 256mb c/f card from the canon 350d promotion on tuesday, Then on friday I received another 256mb card from canon for the same reason. So guys what would you do, send it back, keep it. It,s not often in today,s world you get "owt for nowt". honest replies Please . cheers Mike

Their mistake, keep it - If they ask for it back, give it back. If you send it back it will probably just go into the mailboys pocket anyway. Not honest, but hey, that's the way it is.

keep it unless they ask for it back.

i remember ages ago when creative released the first models of the soundblaster live! card, i ordered the normal one, but the company sent me the £150 one with all the gold terminals and things on it,

naturally i kept it, i never heard anything from the company wanting it back, and they went bust a few montsh later

free stuff is ace :D

KEEP.....

Why worry about someone elses **** up..

I faced the same dilemma a couple of years ago when I ordered a pair of Mission 773e speakers from a well known company.

They sent TWO pairs....nice. Matching mains and rears..

Instant Karma's gonna get you!

You'll have the best pictures you ever took in your life on one of those cards and it'll fry in you camera.

As for JohnDM well Karma has already taken care of him: Mission 773e's on two channels would be painful enough. But on four he's paying for his crime every day
