Hi, I'm very happy to see that this forum, unlike many of its counterparts, actually cares for the identities of its participants. So here I am: Eli Bar-Yahalom, known netwise as Khatul (which stands for "cat" in Hebrew).
I'm an Israeli (living in the spectacular city of Haifa by the Mediterranean), currently in my mid-forties, a college lecturer in pure mathematics, actively involved in gifted children education as well as in editing a journal of Hebrew poetry; married, three kids, lots of cats.
My Android history (not counting the eighties with Lt. Cmdr. Data's attempts at becoming human) begins with a very unsuccessful milestone. The last word, of course, has to begin with a capital letter, referring to a phone which deserves a capital punishment. My Motorola Milestone experience (August 2010-June 2011) was a 10-month period of livid horror. Neither a reliable phone nor a functioning PDA, that gadget was nothing but a stone.
Then came relief, with my Galaxy S (June 2011-September 2012), a wonderful device - it had its drawbacks, particularly the lack of a camera flash, but who am I to criticize it?
When something went wrong inside it, I decided to move ahead with the technology - and so, starting last Friday, I've become the proud owner of a Galaxy SIII-I9300. Generally it seems a haven of pure delight - though I suspect I don't know how to use half its features (TV remote control, anybody?) and can't make it show my Facebook gallery integrated into its native gallery (which is actually what made me join this forum).
I suppose that's more or less everything.
Yours, me.
