Timbo hits 1 million on SETI@home

Hi all,
A bit of self-indulgence here...but after 10 years of BOINCing, I've got to the 1 million mark on SETI@home.
For me that is a bit of a landmark, as it was the SETI@home original app, that got me into grid computing in the 1st place, back in 1999.
Of course, nowadays, you can get a million "just like that" on any number of projects, if you have the right kit (multiple GPU's, ASIC's even cloud servers on Amazon etc).
Even so, it's a nice little achievement to have attained...and I can stand proud that, at last, I'm a SETI millionaire !!!!!
regards
Tim
