    Frank-
     < They don't need no stinkin o'clock. <g>>

    Could be. But "two fourty four" just isn't the same as "quarter to three" in
    my mind. The first is just a long time after two, the second is "nearly
    three". I like seeing the analog hands, they say more to me. Of course I
    also cheat, I often wear a watch with both analog and digital displays. And
    on vacation, I wear an old LED watch, that says NOTHING unless I make the
    effort of holding up one arm and pressing the button with the other.
    Sometimes, I don't want to be bothered with the time!<G>
