You are welcome.

As I drove home, I thought I should temper my discussion a little bit.

The last time I tested a consumer grade CF card was about 3 years ago.
For repeated small writes it failed in less than one hour.  But that was
three years ago and I expect that even the less expensive consumer grade
CF cards would to better than that now.

The point being that my predictions of when a consumer grade card would
fail are based on somewhat educated guessing.  I would not be too
surprised if someone can claim running a Linux box on a recent consumer
grade CF for quite some time.
