http://www.memryz.com, the digital conversion specialists have run a competition via their blog and facebook with the winning prize being an iPad Mini and a runner up prize of 1yrs free subscription to the Memryz unlimited storage Cloud Backup Service.

To enter the competition, entrants had to answer the question;

‘If you could have a machine that converted any one thing to another , what would it be and how would you use it.’

‘We love converting things to digital, old photos, slides, negatives, vhs tape or even cine-reels’, remarked Memryz Founder Jeremy Kaj. ‘So we thought, why not ask the general public what they would convert and why.’

Of the hundreds of entrants, the winning entry was from Jenny Bergin who said;
‘I like the idea of a real life Monsters Inc. (the ending, not the beginning) where laughter is turned into energy. People might cheer up and be happy a bit quicker if their tv / iPad / laptop / lightbulbs relied on their smiles’

The runner up prize was Peter Henshall who proposed;
‘As a student, alcohol is a necessity so I would turn my water tap in to a beer tap’.

According to Mr.Kaj one of the most popular responses with the Memryz team was from a man who said that that he loves his wife but would convert her into Holly Willoughby and continued; ‘well who wouldn’t’?,

‘We liked it but our independent adjudicator obviously thought this brave gentlemen’s life is not worth an iPad mini if his wife found out how he won it’, quipped Mr.Kaj.

<![CDATA[ UK company joins the digital dots: Don’t just convert your old images – back them up, too! ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/uk-company-joins-the-digital-dots-dont-just-convert-your-old-images-back-them-up-too-bd3df067d5870f671004c7479ede3c8e/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/uk-company-joins-the-digital-dots-dont-just-convert-your-old-images-back-them-up-too-bd3df067d5870f671004c7479ede3c8e/ Monday 23 September, 2013
Launched earlier this year, UK digital conversion company Memryz commented that their labs have converted over 750,000 photos and over 150,000 tapes to digital format. That’s an awful lot of memories potentially rescued from obscurity! Especially as old tape players get resigned to scrap heaps across the nation, and lofts become havens for damp and dust.

But founder and company director, Jeremy Kaj, doesn’t think people should rest on their laurels after converting those old formats. Conversion should be the first, not the final step in preserving one’s images. He and his associates are vocal advocates of backing up digital files properly, meaning storing them in more than one place. “Even if you’ve stored your precious photos and videos on a top-of-the-range hard drive, they can still be lost.” warns Mr. Kaj. “Either physically lost or stolen, or damaged in a flood or fire, for example. A hard drive in a fire is no more safe than a photo album, unfortunately! So at Memryz we strongly advise people to use a Cloud-based backup solution to save their image files at a remote location once we’ve converted them.”

To help hammer this point home, Memryz now offer one year’s free subscription to their online backup service for people who use their ‘platinum’ conversion service, which means unlimited data on an unlimited number of computers, which Mr. Kaj says is industry leading. “There are other digital conversion companies out there and there are other data storage companies, but we're the only brand that brings together digital conversion, an online photo gallery, personalised gifts and unlimited data backup! It’s about protecting your memories. All of them - be they physical or digital. And sharing them, of course!”

With regards to the need for backing up files remotely for added piece of mind, it certainly seems like people are beginning to get the message. To date, Memryz' storage infrastructure is protecting over 7 million gigabytes of data on their state-of-the-art military-grade encrypted servers.

So if you’re lagging behind and still have boxes of old pictures gathering dust in your loft, or you’re letting an old desktop computer be the sole guardian of your most precious images, it may be time to think about paying a company like Memryz a visit (digitally, of course).
