1) I believe you.

2) You wouldn't use _that_ kind of joy stick to control a computer anyways.

3) As for the other kind of joystick, the ones I've seen had potentiometers in 
them, and hooked up to the game port on early IBM PCs. There are current gaming 
joysticks that look like a mouse, but I haven't used one of those. I have, 
however, tried a *trackball* as a substitute for a mouse. They're hard to find 
these days, though; not many people prefer them.
