I've seen this question asked a number of times, so when I bumped into this I thought it would of interest to all. It is a very well done piece on how the different types of MDs work with some great animations, details, etc.

If you've never checked out the "how stuff works" web site, go take a look. You'll probably be amazed at the depth of info available there.
