They both provide about the same amount of information.

That said, sometimes even the most basic steam gauges are quite
capable of generating information overload ;-)


I find some analog altimeter designs to be rather counterintuitive.

For once, I have to partly agree. There is still improvement
potential in the user interfaces. However, compared to mechanical
gauges it's no contest.


Until the computer fails, that is.


You gotta have some good old fashioned stuff for backup..

Well, until recently you did anyway!
