Your "age" is showing Larry. Even though I do it every day, day in and day out, nf just isn't intuitive to me. I constantly do a double-take and mentally shift that decimal point over three spaces. But we're doomed. The engineering schools today use nf just as often as my instructors used pf and ufd. My capacitor meter even defaults to the nf scale!!! Shoot, I remember when pf was never seen in electronics. Picofarad was written micro-microfarad or uufd. Sometimes I feel like I'm "puffing" along to keep up, Hi!
