An explanation of CPUs.. by taIon2003-05-21 09:28:10
  very good...one suggestion tho by bjornseth 2003-05-21 12:25:42
Like it a lot...would be cool if you could post any future versions.

One quick suggestion..,I don't know whether you want to expand it further, but you can explain the different instruction sets as different languages....the most common x86 being akin to english, but with other types of processors avaiable (e.g. RS6000 cpu's) which are equivalent to another language. Obviously only forms written in the language the bureaucrats understand can be processed.

I used a very similar analogy once to explain how a java virtual machine works...basically had a translator in front of the line
