[QUOTE="s/LaSH, post: 744225, member: 6929"] Hee, my xp by that scheme would be pretty low... which is largely a measure of my application. I've rarely finished anything, but right now I can explain the principles governing the speed of light, take a light aircraft out of a stall at medium altitude, earn money with my artwork and program a 3D graphics engine (the kind that doesn't use a 3D card). OK, that's boasting, but my point is: Experience doesn't stay the same over the centuries.
