Confused dude, and by orders of magnitude, dude

Hi Terry, All,

Something came to mind.

With respect to T=R*C, isn't this the time required for the cap to reach a
certain percentage of the rail, like 60% or somesuch? If memory serves,
there is a different and slightly more complex formula for a 'full' charge...

Or was I sleeping that day?
