The Pippin simulator is quite fun.
I have issues with it, it will not save it's state because of some
java security setting.
But it is also part of a bigger site: The Analytical Engine
http://www.brookscole.com/compsci_d/templates/student_resources/0534953654_deckerhirchfield/aeonline/course/index.html

Site is quite old but it looks like a nice place to read up on
different topics in computing for students and interested people.
