    Having taught a computer science course on Operating Systems it’s even tough to teach a room full of CS undergrads what one is.

        I definitely agree. I have the luxury of coming from an Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering background. I did microcontroller programming, designed ALUs, and transistor level work before moving into CS.

        Nothing helps you understand a computer better then working with a small microcontroller and building up from there.
