   Yes, its faster. Also I find digital faster too. I can look at the digital   
   clock here and have the time almost as fast as my eyes can focus. An   
   analog clock takes longer to read. Some people claim an analog clock is   
   better for fuzzy (approximate) time. I prefer to do my own fuzzing (like   
   saying "it's about four" when the time is 4:06).
