        I also remember using "micky mikes" before pF.  I started using
nF about the same time I started using ns (nanoseconds).  I HAVE used mF
(millifarad, not to be confused with the old mFd or microfarad) on some
schematics.  I've defined parts with capacitance in mF so the part name
is shorter (not so many zeroes).
