Even if it did only last for 10k "flashes", at the rate of one
new SDL each 6 months, a Courier would still last for 5,000 years, so it
ain't that.  Some of the flash-ROM chips are Intel, while others are made
by AMD, but there appears to be no difference in their respective failure
rates so far.

Later:  The Intels are OK.  All failed ROMs have been AMDs.  :(
