    Not sure how knowing what devices might contain microprocessors helps understand how they work.

    You would be better starting at transitor and working up it you really want to know how they work.

    At an intermediate level then the intel X86... manuals is quite good for understaning one class of CPU.

    For an understanding of how higher level software languages map on to the hardware then have a look how compilers work.

    I am particularly interested to hear from people who work in IT and particularly developers. I am a developer trying to improve my understanding of how computers work at a lower level?

    Do you have phones, PC's, tablets, gadgets. It would be good to see a list.

    I am referring to gadgets with a microcontroller.

    When you say developer what do you mean?

    "a developers wife asked him to go to the shop and get a dozen eggs, if they any loaves of bread, get two"

    I will see if anyone out there knows the punchline :rotfl:

    He came back with two eggs.

    It's like the old developer anecdote...

    "a developers wife asked him to go to the shop and get a dozen eggs, if they any loaves of bread, get two"

    I will see if anyone out there knows the punchline :rotfl:
    He came back from the shop and told his wife: "They didn't have eneuf..." :T
