How many times can I rewrite my BIOS?

How many times can I rewrite my BIOS? How many times can I alter it? I'm a newbie so I do this a lot. It is my understanding that this type of storage wears out after it is rewritten a certain number of times.

flash memory apparently has a read write failure of about 1 million writes before possilbe failure.....

= 1 bios upgrade per day for 2700+ years


i'd be more worried about my hdd..... failures before 5 years are common
