I Finally Broke 1 Million Points For Folding At Home!

It’s now winter time here and it’s started to get colder.  Every folder knows what that means, time to ramp up the SMP and GPU folding clients!  Over the past year or so, I’ve been folding for the Tested.com Folding@Home team, and I recently broke through an important milestone:  I broke a million points!  As you can see from the certificate below, I’m accumulated 1,100,000 points for the Tested team, putting me in second place!  Now if only I can pass up CatpainTypo for first place!
