So, they simply loop over the mls number in numerical order and put the phones 
in 1 of 256 folders (1-256) sequentially.  So what happens when they say delete 
an MLS number later on?  do they reorder all the photos into new folders?  Or 
are you supposed to just know that a mls number is skipped and thus skip the 
corresponding photo folder?    We all know MLS numbers get deleted at times.

Which MLS?
