I saw the spaceship at your house, and it brought back memories of my son's cardboard spaceship that he had as a toddler. It was shaped more like a lunar module if I remember right, and was already decorated. It seems to me, I got it free for sending in proof of purchase for something or other. He spent hours in his spaceship, and it lasted for a few years!
I'm so glad that you now have application on your phone. It's great to know also that nowadays, times have really changed and everything's more and more innovated. I heard about some companies that now has better hosted pbx provider, hosted pbx service and hosted pbx solution for them to communicate better with their clients.
