[mono-android] threads in c# vs java example, translated from mark murphy android tutorials

[Michael Isbell]

And a more honest answer to the question is that, while I programmed
exclusively in C# between 2001 and 2008, I haven't even looked at it since I
got buried in objc...so some of this is that I don't remember what I use to
know :-) just bought accelerated C# and jeff richter to remind me how all
this works.

yes, on my Kindle of course. Don't you judge me!
