Cranes, garbage trucks, industrial robots, even physics and chemistry labs use joysticks and buttons and trackballs for use with hazardous material handling. This is why they were there. They have a very large insustrial controls department.
: I know this is off the topic, but I went to the National Manufacturing Week convention at McCormic Place in Chicago today and while wlaking the floor low and behold there was the Happ booth! I was surprised that they were there, but I guess they sell industrial stuff too. I don't know why you'd actually want to do real work with their stuff though. :) They're sending me a 2001 catalogue which I found out has some new joysticks and other stuff in it. You might want to get it just to check it out. Just FYI..
