What did they replace the phone with?
Is it more useful than the phone was?
Could it help with contacting you're parents?Si posse, recte, si non, quocumque modo remComment

That's been something of a source of irritation to him (and given that he describes himself as having "the social skills of a thermonuclear device", he tends to let his irritation show).Comment
