I just saw a great video from TED about an online course that teaches you
how to build a computer from nand logic to an operating system that can
play tetris.  It sounds, incredibly challenging but well worth trying,
especially for anyone that is looking to learn about computers.  

Check out the video: Shimon Schocken: The self-organizing computer course<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE7YRHxwoDs&feature=g-all-u>

Also, the website is at this link: From NAND to TetrisBuilding a Modern
Computer From First Principles <http://www.nand2tetris.org/>

I have to say it wasn't until I was required to build a simple program in
assembly code, when I finally started to wrap my head around how computers
worked.  I think that starting all the way back from the logic which
computers are build on would be even more insightful.

Anyway, thought you'd find it interesting.

Rich
