The number might not look 'too big' but it took quite some dedication and addiction to get here. With the boost from TZC and my new GTX 1070, I passed the 200 mil mark today. In my first couple of years of folding, I folded with almost no interruptions regardless of changing places, occupations, etc. At times it became harder, at times I had access to too much hardware!! I am happy to get more active again in the forums and see that still many people (and new and more people) are interested in folding --AND folding for team EVGA. Kudos to all who has been a part of the community and helped directly or indirectly.

I can say the same about folding - once I started my machines ran 24/7 whether I was on vacation for a week, out of the country, whatever I folded from around the same date you started. About 2 years ago I got the crunching bug so I am not folding as much. The 200 mil mark is Big - congratulations!

Me too (except from 2010)! And us old timers know how hard it was to get a million points back then, we had to walk a mile uphill in both directions... oh wait, wrong story. Congratulations!

Had to walk in three feet of snow, now if they think it will snow they cancel school.
Punchy! --you and your ever-consistent avatar! Thank you very much! And I agree that first million was very very hard to get to! bill1024...just to add to the story, in a land far away, around the end of eighties and beginning of nineties, I had to walk in/above 3 meters (9 feet) of snow!

Then you're just a young whipper snapper if you were in school in the 80's. Not 1880s right?
If 1880s, you're just a little older than me.
Now with all this global warming, our kids will be swimming to school in 3 meters of water!. Up hill!
bill1024, your profile picture/avatar is a good hint for me to settle with 1980s. I won't claim that I am taking about 1880s!
I got my bachelors in the 80's, but bill1024's avatar would indicate he's got a few years on me. If it snows in Jacksonville this place goes in to freakout mode. They don't know what to do
