Hmm. My ASCII art math excitement did get mangled and destroyed. Thanks for
the correction.

     /   1        1
1   /  ------ + -------  =  total capacitance
   /    cap1     cap2

Is the correct one.

I prefer this as it gives you your answer as you want it- in capacitance,
not 1/capacitance. The math is the same, but it is clearer.
