uuF = MicroMicro Farads = Pico Farads.

However 0.001 picofarads makes NO sense at all.

I was answering the "basic" question of uuF - and that was "before" i had my
coffee. I wasn't paying attention to the actual "value". Due to the back
ground of the poster - it "appears" he had limited electronics experience to
start with. I'm more concerned with his sticking his fingers in a place -
unexperienced, than a "Value" of a component.

Some of my first experiances with electricity.

My mother told me of the time I was spilling water in to the socket of a table
lamp I had unscrewed the light bulb.

The second time was with a remote control bus I had which worked
with a spark gap static transmitter. I had unscrewed the antenna and
poked my finger inside while pressing the transmit button. I remembered
this ocasion very well.

Watch out where you stick your fingers.
