You're counting for 2 people, huh?

That's me raising both my hands :)

While at it, I wonder if we're better off calling these "Hardware
events" rather than "Hardware errors".

Oh, please no. That's that euphemistic lying which serves no one. And
here's what I mean by "euphemistic lying":

Let's call it what it really is but, at the same time, make sure it is
understandable to users what action they need to undertake (or none)
when they encounter it.

If you feel so strongly about it. "Corrected Error" is an oxymoron. It's really just the hardware notifying us.


Thanks,
Naveen
