I assure you Karl that the name for the computer part was given by
somebody with a perverse sense of humor, since the implement of torture
going by that name is much older. Probably the same perverse soul who
decided to call the stick-shaped game pointing device a joystick (and yes,
the etomology of that word is much more appropriate for an S&M list).
