How do you gain experience without tightening a lot of screws??????????? Also, analog clocks are significantly better when all your interested is the approximate time (e.g., is it almost time to go home????). Of course, I wear a digital watch, but mainly for the additional features, like a built-in stop watch for when I go jogging. Ihor Kinal hou5e!ijk
