Upon reaching my 1,000,000 credit yesterday I printed out a certificate, but it is only showing credits from Nov of 2005,
since I've been doing this since the 1980's, I wonder where the other 17 years of computing are hiding.

Well a couple of points, your sign up date shows 24th November 2005. So only credit from then will be shown.

Perhaps you had another user ID

Second SETI@Home only started in 1999 so you could not have been processing work units from SETI@Home since the 1980's
