[time-nuts] Am I the only Time Nut who doesn't wear a watch?

[Javier Herrero]

My car has an interior look similar to this:

Time ago, I pick a young engineer (quite digitally oriented, may I say) 
to go somewhere. He saw the three gauges in the central console (oil 
pressure, analog clock, and battery), pointed to the center one (the 
clock) and asked me: "and what does this one measures?"

I was quite surprised by the question... :)

Regards,

Javier
