1) Because I don't want to spend the money
2) Because I want to increase my knowledge in electrical engineering
3) Because I want to be able to share the information on how to build
   one over the net
4) Because I want to use my old atari joystick, nothing else!!  That
   thing can get run over by a truck and still work! Its
   indestructible!  And if it DOES break, do you know how much it will
   cost to replace?  FIVE BUCKS.
