This is good news cause I download a bunch of times per programming
session as I work out nuances in my code or related hardware.
I did the math one time for spending 8 hours a day and downloading
once per minute. I don't have the numbers handy as to how long life of
eeprom was expected to be. But with your news I can live longer...
