Areas of interests: Internet, collaboration, web services, Email related tools, UI design and software in general. I work in IncrediMail Before IncrediMail I spent about 8 years working in the Israeli capital market at companies like “Hevra merkazit”, “ Betucha”, and Clal insurance investment department. I also spent about 3 years trading at the Tel Aviv stock exchange before it all got computerized. During that time I worked a lot with Microsoft excel and did lots of tests with macros and Excel’s VBA Since about 6 years ago I found out that I spend more and more time exploring the Internet and downloading all kind of software. I’m subscribed to most of the Internet related printed magazines. I have a special computer with 4 partitions (and a variety of Ghost images), only for downloading and installing software. I also have an Imac with os 10.1 to explore some apple software. Some of the software that I use and like: PhotoShop, Excel, Chessmaster 9000, Starry Night pro, Microsoft Encarta & world atlas, Pinnacle Studio 8, Picasa
