If I had to compare various (preferably the larger / most important) components it's be like this:

CPU - Albert Einsten (or whoever you idolize as a math wizard)
GPU - Bob Ross / Walt Disney (really... whatever artist, painter, sculptor, etc. you want it to be)
RAM - My great great grandmother - couldn't remember what she did .05 seconds ago - love you gramma! (please don't send the fist from heaven to punch me in the eye!)
HDD / SSD - The guy who remembers what you wore during your bachelor(ette) party 30+ years ago.
LAN / Modem - The mailman.
Chipset - My father (was the "jack-of-all-trades" kinda guy... and smarter than... well... me, I guess)
Power Supply - You first cup of coffee in the morning - you know... the one that punches you right in the soul and gets you motivated to move around.
Mainboard - The human body - missing any key organ or component will generally shut it down.
The various circuits, capacitors, and cooky electronics that reside on the board - any human body system that sends / receives information or fluid. (Circulatory system, central nervous system, etc.)

Too complex? Don't worry about it! That's what certified technicians are for! And people love us to death when we can fix it! They just don't like the bill.

Liked the descriptives... Fun analogies... :D

Guess what movie is coming on the tube tonight... The Lone Ranger... Guess I am watching a movie tonight... Been years since I have seen it.
I've never seen the new one, so just looked it up and set it to record. Here it started at 7pm for tonite. Thanks.

Dang ... 45 years in the computer business and this is the best description yet. I always told Janet there were little people running around in that box doing all the work. :D

OK, so the tree didn't come down today. Some evil spirit must have come and put a hex on us last night. We went out to shop for a treadmill. Good grief. Well, with all this cooking and baking and eating we're having fun, but we're both looking at having to get new wardrobes. When we opt for the slip on shoes because it's a chore to bend over to tie laces it's time to get some exercise. I gotta figure out how to make food without calories. When the weather is nice we walk around the neighborhood, but it's too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter and it's been raining for the past couple weeks so we're inside more than outside. Guess we're gonna have to do this.
