So I've been invited to speak at my sons career day... So I get about
fifteen minutes to wow about 30 six year olds.

Now, I know we're the type of people that can get excited discussing the
arcane details of processor instruction sets. Somehow I can't see a room of
six year old sharing my enthusiasm. :-)
I'd rather not revert to a Jacobs ladder to get their attention, but I will
if I have to.
I have about a month to prepare, minimal budget and an "above average" junk
box.

Thoughts?
