[Sorry if a few aborted messages may have gone out, but I was unable to
reply to the "bug shoo" query in net.misc using the "f" command of readnews.
It kept complaining about unmatched quotes!]

A long time ago (I think around 1970) Popular Electornics (or some
similar magazine) published an atricle describing how to build a device
they called a "bug shoo."  It emitted an ultrasonic frequency that was
supposed to repel mosquitos.  I built one and was never bitten, but then
we never had many mosquitos flying around Los Angeles at that time anyway.
