His blog entry includes a set of pictures that let you see how 'Poly Lisa' evolved over roughly a million generations. Both beautiful to look at and a striking way to get a feel for the power of evolutionary algorithms."

I can't tell you how many times someone pointed at the screen saying: "That's the computer"
And then pointing at the case (whereever it might be positioned): "This is the harddrive"

They need to know what's what.. =)

Maybe also some kind of guidelines for how to cooperate well when you're being helped by support/child/friend etc...maybe we all want it in different ways though ;)
