GIMME YO FILES!!!!

Posted at 4:13 pm | 28 comments

Recently Mozy did a survey in NY and San Francisco to see what people would sell their laptops for on the spot.. Most people said $1000 until they realized that they would lose all of their files.. then their answers changed a little bit!

Well, I went out in LA to see what peoples responses would be if I tried to buy their laptop on the spot — watch the video and see what they said!

What about you peeps?! How much would you sell your laptop for if you didn’t have any of your files backed up?

How much would I have to pay you to stop advertising for them?

I’ll pay you not to do it more than they’re paying you to do it. lol

hello ijustine… my laptop does not play! and a dudit:

· How you can use a wireless microphone of pouch in the street if the receiver needs an outlet.

· That model of microphone you use?

please answer!

I’d sell it for about $3,000. Cause then I’d replace all my files and get a MacBook Pro 15 inch!

I second that!

I do have backups of the files I want to keep. But if I didn’t I think my most important files would be financial info, pictures, my resume. It’d be several thousand dollars I’d think. It’s a good reminder to be careful.

Other than Mozy what do you do? Do you keep raw footage on a ginormous NAS server? Disks in a bank vault? Or Mozy alone?

Justine, how do you get good audio quality? You’re standing far away but I can hear you pretty well even with all the street noises?

Another great video! Money well spent for mozy… I signed up because of it;-) lol

And I would never sell my laptop!

I just want to know why did you stop making ask ij video.

Francis on Nov 17th 2009 at 4:13 pm

I would sell mine for $500. It’s also broken. And the power button doesn’t work. So really i would just sell it for parts…

MadeInDani on Nov 18th 2009 at 4:13 pm

I use time machine and back up my mac every 5 days, so you can have this one for 3,000 so i can go buy a new one. Just lemme know when you want it and I’ll get it to you. lol

one million dollars

Rob Sandie on Nov 18th 2009 at 4:13 pm

No way!

grayce ezarik on Nov 18th 2009 at 4:13 pm

A lot of people were talking about identify theft, kinda weird to include that in the video since mozy can’t do anything about that. If someone steals your laptop they can still steal your identity (although I always wonder what you have on your PC that someone could actually use to steal your identity).

Peter on Nov 18th 2009 at 4:13 pm

Time Machine! …Need I say more?

Derek Deulus on Nov 19th 2009 at 4:13 pm

Check out my site!

Do you know how much Photoshop costs!?

Faye on Nov 19th 2009 at 4:13 pm

I would sell my laptop and get another one because all the files I have on it are priceless. Besides, all the memories we have together are simply priceless so I ain’t gonna sell my laptop. No way!

Tiffany Smithson on Nov 19th 2009 at 4:13 pm

This was great!

Daynah on Nov 22nd 2009 at 4:13 pm

hey justine i wouldnt even dream of selling my laptops and i would make sure if i did i would feel so out of touch with all my networks and friends online and i have so much files on my pc its not funny so many things i would wanna keep thats for sure but this video really is great and some people were willing to but the min ya said i would have ya files they certainly changed there minds lol well most of em haha u get me laughing so hard all the time keep em coming!!

Awesome video!

I wish you/mozy would have made a distinction between losing the data and having the data fall into somebody else’s hands. Mozy isn’t really going to protect anyone’s identity, but it will help them from losing their files (which is why I use it!!). The real question here is “How much money would it take for me to delete all your files?” Bit more confusing to ask that, though. :p
