For those of you who were gone, you want to be able to draw the capacitances in a logic gate circuit, and then be able to draw RC circuits for worst and best cases of rise and fall times, as discussed in Section 4.3.5. Note: error in book on page 152, Example 4.7 Fig. 4.15(b) is for "rising" edge not falling.
