[SML] Sensor Dimmer Problems

[Jerry Durand]

Memory is transitory.  "Non volatile" memory such as eeprom actually 
slowly loses it's mind over time.  So, assuming no glitches or other 
such errors, memories will eventually start forgetting things a bit at a 
time.  This time can range from fairly short (like 10 years for a brand 
new part) to much longer times like 100 years for "quality" memory.
