I have 10K cycles per device..  considering a typical application is set 
and forget, I'm not particually worried.   Basically what's getting 
stored is human-readable descriptions of a couple items, and a couple of 
power-on values which generally shouldn't change regularly.  Figure I've 
got far beyond the lifecycle of the product with 10K write cycles.  A 
typical application will likely only have it's settings changed a few 
times a year, if even that many.    I'll just need to be careful to 
ensure that I don't waste the write cycles needlessly.
