Or, to put it in another way :

Lets say a 256 byte EEPROM PIC.

Then there are 256 separate D120 values and 256 separate D124 values (in a way...).

Each separate D120 value is "incremented" (and never "reset")
as it's cell is re-written.

*All* D124 value are "incremented" whenever *any* cell is
written. Each separate D124 value is "reset" whenever *that* specific
cell is written (aka "refresh", but there are realy no difference,
as far as the EEPROM is concerned, between a "write" and a "refresh",
of course).

D120 is each cells total "lifetime".
D124 is each cells "refresh-timer".

D120 is incremented whenever *that* cell is written.
D124 is incremented whenener any *other* cell is written.

Or am I completely missing something ?
