Several years ago I heard about the pressure sensitive joy stick and thought
it might be a good thing.  The company is Measurement Systems Inc., somewhere
in the east.  I never tried one because they were well over $1000 each.
I don't know whether the high price is why the government is their only
significant customer or vice versa.  I suspect vice versa since there is
at least one consumer product for $100 using the same type of transducer.
If it worked well as a mouse substitute, it would take up a lot less space.
