Travellers can beat the misery of mosquitoes with a computer program that paralyses the insect's wings by emitting a high-frequency sound. The program has been so popular that the internet holiday company holiday.co.uk is planning to make it available to anyone who buys a flight or holiday from it next summer. The brainchild of a Thai company, Anti-Mal 2.0 can be downloaded free. About130,000 people have already taken advantage of it, 50,000 in the first three days of its availability. An upgraded program also sees off cockroaches by irritating their antennae. David Newbury, 35 a telesales manager from Essex, recently used the software while on holiday on the Red Sea. "It really works," he said. "I turn the laptop on in my room with the program running and I haven't seen a single bug since." The man who created the program, Saranyou Punyaratanabunbhu, said: "I dare say that the mosquito-repelling success rate is around 90 per cent." Because of the impracticability of carrying a laptop on holiday, scientists are now working on a hand-held version. xponent Bzzzzzzzzzt Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
