Summary: Telephone bells and disks

Regarding magnetic sources that can scramble disks:

 	In most telephones there is an electromagnetic bell
	which can, if place near enough (like on top of) to
	a disk, cause spurious patterns of information.
	Keep your disks away from ringing telephones.  Probably
	half an inch is enough, but better to be safe than
	scrambled.
