Ariel Millennium Thornton
Moved to New Mexico in 2004 after eight years of honorable service in the U.S. Navy. Has tinkered with a wide variety of home and personal computer systems ranging from the Apple II to the TRS-80 Model 100 almost since he learned to read, and continuing to tinker today. Favorite PC: the Commodore 64. PC used daily: a modern IBM compatible with a Debian-based OS.
What I Do
I work tech support and PC repair for a small ISP in rural New Mexico. I haven't answered the dreaded cupholder call yet, but I've answered some doozies that come close. I've been told that I'm so skilled and courteous that if I were a doctor, most of my customers would trust me implicitly. Lies, I'm sure.
In October 2009, I was made a moderator at Fur Affinity Forums (FAF). I go by the same name on that forum as I do here, ArielMT. From January to August 2011, I was a support administrator at Fur Affinity (FA), and I go by the same name there as here and FAF.
