OK,

just to verify, 100n is .01 uF right? I am ass backwards when it comes to 
simple numbers things like this. Probably why I've always had trouble with 
math (thank god for kits). My logic was

1uF = 1000n
1n = .0001uF
10n = .001uF
100n = .01uF

Sorry for the dumbness but I don't want to fry anything out this early in 
the morning HA! Thanks for the help guys,

Thomas

1uF == 1000n (you got that part right)

It then immediately follows that:

.1uF == 100n

As I see this you are off by one decimal on those last 3

1n = 0.001uF  or 1/1000 uF
10n = 0.01uF  or 1/100 uF
100n = 0.1uF or 1/10 uF
1000n = 1 uF

Thanks for the cap help guys. Seems I always have this problem with zeros 
and ones. I could figure out 2200pF no problem but when its flipped 
(zeros+ones+division= total logic block) I go bonkers trying to figure it 
out.

Now that I see the examples, all I would have had to remember is that .01 is 
1% of a dollar and .1 is one tenth ie 100n out of 1000n or 10cents out of 
the buck. These are the types of relations I have to use sometimes to 
understand numbers. If I can see it another way it helps by power of 
relation to something more familiar. Let me just say Duuuuhhh and remind 
everyone I will not soon be designing any modules of my own HA!

Thanks professors! I look forward to the quiz! It really is great to know I 
can ask about anything with a fast and informed answer on this list.

Next Question = will one of you do my taxes for me? HA HA HA
