Its hard to write to FLASH program memory so its not done very often  
other than to write executable code and constant data. Also in  
general FLASH memory can not be reprogrammed as many times before  
breaking than EEPROM cells.

EEPROM is much easier to write but harder to read than FLASH because  
the AVR EEPROM is not in either of the CPU memory spaces. The  
solution I use for read-often variables is to declare a structure  
containing all my EEPROM variables. Then create two allocations of  
that structure, one in RAM and one in EEPROM. Usually call them ee  
and wc, for EEprom and Working Copy, that its obvious ee.calibration  
and wc.calibration are paired.

Initialization is easy because one only has to bulk copy ee into wc.  
Is also practical to bulk copy wc into ee, but I selectively write my  
updates as needed.
