I recently got an e-mail froma cor-


respondent in Southern California that was on another topic. However, hidden within themessage were these gems:


• A property manager of a 700-car garage told the operator to unplug beeping CO monitors, rather than have them serviced.


• A government agency that owns a 1,000-space open lot that does over $3.5million a year in revenue won’t letme buy a revenue control system with an historic database feature (unnecessary and too expensive, they said), so we wind up with nothing more than a cigar box operation.


• And the medical office building owner who demanded that the operator integrate his old and sim- ple office building card access system with the 300-car garage access system, thereby giving everybody who has access to the building access to the garage, too. He wanted to save the $15,000 cost of upgrading the garage’s card system.


All the best,
