The one and only port I have ever done (Sprint to Verizon) took about 45 days to complete and I was without a phone for about 15 days. Needless to say, when I dropped Verizon for AT&T, I gladly accepted a new phone number.

My mom moved 3 phones tmo to sprint in about 2 hours, I think it must have been 5+ years ago however.

it took a phone call to each line from soem '3rd party verifier' and then it just happened.

T4 in MAD is very pretty, though.

Very true, it is the way DTW should look.

Good morning, Box. Nice to push the "Teh Box" button in my browser and have it work.

Feeling better?

That was my theory. I just have to go through and start following everyone.

cheepneezy, you should also take AF off the list as well. It's not bad just totally overrated.

I have no expectations except to say I flew AF.:D

I was trying to find out if teh Box Emergency Broadcast System had been activated.

Good morning Box. I see FT is behaving for the moment.

Don't forget seat back thickness effects the actual room available. (31 inch pitch with a 30 inch thick seat back would leave you only 1 inch of room)

They had the recaro slimline seats, still seemed less than co.

Greetings, Box.

I guess it was a good thing that I spent all of yesterday teaching and driving all over Kingdom Come since FT was way more than wobbly-bonkers.

I lowered mine for IB and they still failed to meet.

Function is more important than look, and DTW is pretty good with function IMO.

The DC is there to help "balance the colors" of the photo -- just like the fruit. :cool:

That creme cheese & jam turnover was tasty. Might have to have another two. Or thirty.

Haven't been to IFL in MIA. How do you like it? I have only been in the ORD IFL. It is nice and all, but I understand that the MIA is supposed to be geat!^

No wonder you are not a Mac guy.

Most airport architecture is rather bland, so it's nice to see the occasional effort taken to make it interesting. MAD T4 IME works pretty well as an airport terminal as well -- the only problem is that it's pretty far away from the rest of the airport -- unlike, say, the Saarinen terminal at JFK or IAD. The main terminal at DEN is pretty interesting, too, at least from the outside.

Maybe I just notice this stuff because my father is an architect.

T4 is very functional. It is one thing IB managed to do right.

I have not been there, so was not directly commenting on that aspect.

:rolleyes: my preferred commands are via CLI. GUI just gets in the way!

DEN is interesting yes, but has some functional issues at times. IAH is functional except for A and parts of B, E looks somewhat nice, DFW is nice in parts and generally functional as an airport (can't say so much about the airline that is in most of it)

LGA is neither nice looking or functional :D LAX the same.

I did a port for my parents a few weeks ago it and it took a whopping five minutes.

It was from T-mo->AT&T. I was amazed as to how quick it was and it happened in real-time while I was on the phone.
