I've been wondering the same thing. Those A/C's put out great, why you'd need more than one is a riddle to me.

Oh, I am happy with my new Canon Rebel XT! Here's the next pic, only three seconds later (with my Kodak P&S I'd be counting off 10 seconds while the camera wrote to the card)
I brightened this image to show the size of the tires.

Now here's one of Boston Children's Hospital parked at the curb. A pic like this needs more than the little pop up flash that's mounted on top of the camera.

Same rig, still ASA 400 but this time with two full stops EV making it about ASA 1600. Still needs a bigger flash.
Phil, Bklyn.

So the State regulates how you identify units? Seemed like a good (but expensive) means to dynamically label units. We've kept to the std magnetic signs.

Did Boston EMS move its shops to a new facility? If so, where?

The state doesn't necesarily regulate how you identify units, but they do have a LONG list of regulations that must be met for an ambulance to be licensed, all the way down to the type of lettering, where the lettering is, and which lights flash in what sequence. Not to mention that the regulations change almost yearly.

Exactly. The state disapproved of the numbering system because it was too simple to change a unit's number in their opinion. The system was set up with security in mind-the only people that could access the panel to change the number were the mechanics or technical services, but it still irked the state. If they truly regulated it, they would have just refused to license the rig.

Nice pics. I like the new units. Whats the difference between P1 and A16 besides the numbering?
Thanks,
Phil
