Louis:

I have never had a flash card fail. Others have not had this good
fortune, however. I have seen cards belonging to others which have
failed, so this really does happen.

I'm shocked.  I thought, after reading the Library of Congress's
endorsement
of flashcard technology, that their usefulness and durability was
virtually
limitless.  Can someone clue me in?  Is there an expected life
expectancy
for flashcards?  Is there an expected number of times one may be
re-written
before it fails?  Do you know how many times that is--roughly, of
course?

        That's a good point, but in my case, the flash card is less than
a
month old, so I hardly think I've used the cycle count up. -Brian On
