Links for new players?

[Awakened]

I'm starting a holiday mini-campaign, and am introducing my girlfriend and one of her best friends to the game. I'm pretty adept at explaining the system, but these new players expressed interest in reading about how D&D and d20 works before we start. To encourage them, I thought I'd recommend some links for starting players.
Does anyone know of any interesting and/or informative articles?
Thanks so much!

Anyone?

You could have them play around with the demo on Wizard's site. It is pretty lame for someone who has played the game, but might work for a complete newbie.

Perhaps reading through the recent series of articles on the WoTC site would help them?
