I am curious about the difference between a joystick and a mouse.  (No 
smart-ass comments!  I KNOW what the difference is!)  I mean, are they 
interchangable when plugged into the side of the Amiga?  Can anyone,
Commodore-Amiga affiliated or otherwise, shed some light on this?

The inspiration for this question is the rotating amiga3d demo which
was posted a short while ago.  It had some joystick functions in the
source, but my mouse had no effect on it.  Is it supposed to respond 
to user controls?  Is it only affected by a joystick, and not a mouse?

Thanks for your help (whoever you turn out to be).
