I read the section on capacitors in art of electronics and got to the part where electrolytics are maked as awefull ghastly & terrible.
Marc :)

ha :-) They are horrible over temperature, especially cold. Got into an argument with older engineer about this. He said electrolytics lose 50% value when cold (-40C). Checked it out, and they don't. It's more like 10%-15%. He was remembering from 30 years ago, maybe. Point is, they've gotten better (but still suck :-)
