And in the 8.4 years since I've done mine, we have 14,191 CCIE's or 1,689
per year. So we aren't that much off the mark. :) (Before any
conversations start about how many there are, blah, blah, blah)

Congratulations!

Exactly the same feeling I felt 1 year ago. Assuming my computations are
correct, 2,017 CCIEs a year after I got mine. 8-)
