I don't understand why the electronics industry needs to make reading the value of a cap such a chore. I mean, what was wrong with the old way of writing .15mfd. on a cap instead of 154? This new way is more confusing, more chance of making a mistake! They have to print numbers on it anyway so why the need to complicate things? Just a pet peeve of mine!
