I have been zapping and buzzing around with my latest acquisition- Toshiba T130 lap top.Super slim, super fast and super light. It pack's a powerful punch in it's tiny frame too.
I understand ,under new blog laws, writers now have to specify whether the product or goods they are promoting are in part advertorial.Readers,I will inform you now that this review is in part advertorial,however,those who know me, know well that I would not even lend my name to a single thing,not a single dot, of something I did not believe in.
This computer is great.I will be the first to admit I am fairly rugged with my computers. Different countries, states, deserts, reefs, airports, xrays, you name it - computers "live it" on my watch.
My last lap top was a tad heavy for all the carting around but it packed the media muscle and drives I required.It did not serve my existing injury at all well.It did however fit on it the small and large applications and programs I needed to be able to utliize at a moments notice.
Upon possession of my new Toshiba laptop I sat down with a tech guy and spent a laborious two hours transferring the hard drive contents from not one ,but two laptop computers onto this computer.Would all the programs and applications fit? Would the computer still be Speedy Gonzales? Well yes both hard drives did fit with room to spare.
As for Speedy Gonzales I am still trying to catch up with him.
Now I can a zap around, with a lightweight feather in my cap,knowing I am in possession of something that has not only" might",but has some of the coolest screen savers built in,thanks to Windows 7.
This computer that opens a door to a new world, a new era in technogolgy, ready to be shared with you on completion of the next film and/or journey.
Note from Anna Wilding
Well being in the public eye certainly attracts some strange people..none the
least of which is a cyber bullying stalker I have had for 3 years.Naturally I
ignore this nonsense and whatever it is they are saying .
The latest was two days ago the anonymous stalker/cyber bully found out who a dear PR
colleague of mine was, and went out of their way to call my colleague up trying to get information and
references under false pretenses and by presenting and deceptive
misinformation.It was done also under the auspices of a recruitment/work offer
call.The call also was a breach of privacy act under recurtiment guidelines.
Thank you

28 October 2009 - A new charity has launched, the Wilding
Foundation, that aims to fill an overlooked gap in the charity and non
profit marketplace. www.wildingfoundation.com The founder, award
winning actress director ,and producer Anna Wilding said it is a
diverse, exciting and contemporary charity that is also couched in
history.The charity plans to have a event to mark its Official Launch in 2010.
The Wilding Foundation awards scholarships to those
of exceptional ability and prowess in sports, arts, humanities, health,
medicine and environmental activities. The Foundation will support
those who may not otherwise have the financial means and/or knowledge
at hand to further their potential. The charities aims are diverse with
the inclusion of several primary scholarships.The charity is not limted only to the scholarships in its gift giving.Recently it responded quickly and succesfully to the Samoan Relief Appeal through it's own private appeal .
The first scholarship is in honor of one of the world's greatest tennis players ,the Anthony Wilding Scholarship for prowess in sports. Anthony Wilding is a legendary tennis player who, amongst other things won Wimbledon a total of ten times prior to World War 1. He garnered the record for most Wimbledon singles titles in a row for over fifty years. This record was finally broken at Monte Carlo by Rafael Nadal in 2008. Wildings doubles partner, in Davis Cup and Wimbledon was the great Aussie tennis player Norman Brookes. Wilding was the first man to take a motorcycle solo through Europe, his preferred method of travel between tournaments. Anthony tragically died in Flanders in 1915 at the age of 32.
Along with the Anthony Wilding scholarship are awards in environmental, arts and humanitarian fields.The charity accepts contributions from donors worldwide. The Board of Directors hopes to see the charity grow steadily over the next few years.
Anna Wilding, a supporter of humanitarian and environmental issues as well as a gifted filmmaker, has personally experienced what it is like to miss out - of not being able to pursue a chosen direction due to financial factors. Ms Wilding, tipped to go to Wimbledon and join the professional ciruit herself as a youngster could not afford the required training overseas.She hopes that this charity will help bridge a gap for those impoverished who display talent and cannot afford the training, travel, study or equipment.
What is it with women and handbags?
Since my neck and shoulder injury I find it nigh on impossible to carry one. I am reduced to a men's wallet ,where possible and much more streamlined and easier it is too. Why do we carry bags? Men don't.They carry a wallet and their keys! Smart -all thats needed. They may succumb to a briefcase occassionally.
Surely we can fit our lipsticks in our pockets, and our womens essentials for that time of the month,and the piece of paper with that latest bill to be paid, and our, and our painkillers for that time of the month and anything else that requires a painkiller,and our mascara when it comes off in a blindingly complimentary fashion when we have been tearful at that cry your eyes out movie, and our..
Really I don't know how men do it..fit it all into one wallet.
I guess the womens handbag is like a security blanket.A fashion statement and useful to swing if needed!
The Wilding Foundation completed a successful private appeal for Samoa tsunami relief a couple of weeks ago.The appeal is now closed on October 10th,as planned. We wish to thank everyone who participated in a positive manner.Please go to www.wildingfoundation.com to help the charity and aid others.There are many ways you can help.
