strange event yesterday, cellphone caused floppy disk error
had a floppy diskette in my pocket
in same pocket had my cellphone
accidentally I brushed against a table
the cellphone clicked to set up a call on memory list
I cleared it later

but the floppy diskette had its formatting ruined
I could not open the diskette, lost its files
ok though, since all backups, easily re-backed up
the error was "cannot open Apple files, please reformat"
I use MS Windows

weird, so a cellphone signal disrupts diskette formatting
