Sweet. Just got a new US Patent after a bajillion years. Too bad I don't get a dime for it. Oh well.
I almost had a patent about 5 years ago. Going rate for a patent at my company is something like $2K + a recognition banquet. My FIL has one related to preparation of low-fat salad dressings. |

The last time I was in JFK T5 was 1996, when it was still TWA's home. The interior fittings were kind of dumpy-looking (as befitting TWA at the time), but the building itself was ^. Memorable enough that I still remember.

I don't mind some parts of ORD at all.
* Security is usually pretty quick, even in non-elite lines (and in some cases, even faster). On Monday mornings, I can shoot for arriving in the parking garage at departure-60, get through security, grab a quick breakfast at McD's, and make it to my gate with time to spare before the boarding call. * Because they're so busy, the TSA goons don't powertrip as much as at smaller airports. * The new high-B RCC is nice. * When I do need to check bags, they're typically pretty quick. I've had times where even landing in B concourse, my checked bag has made it to the carousel before I did. What's not so good: * Insufficient seating, especially in the UX gates and some of the 767 gate areas. * Not enough food choices, especially in E/F * How things go south in bad weather (although that's improved a lot with the new runways opening) |

The people who hate ORD are the people who connect through ORD (especially the ones who connect from F11-B22). Since it's my home airport, I'm probably a little biased, but it's not too bad.

Yep, although C seems better lately. My average wait time lately has been less than 15 minutes from the time I was off the plane until the bag arrived.
