I always use an example like your first one Sandy. Unless I'm talking to an IT person or manager, I "dumb it down" for them. I'll say "you know when you order something off of Amazon.com? Well, Cold fusion is the programming language that processes that information." I know from an IT standpoint that's not entirely accurate, but it makes them understand.

Because of that, I am interviewing for a non-IT possition Thursday. I know the question "What is Cold Fusion?" will come up. Can anyone give me a simple explanation I can give? Mine is full of jargon and buzz words and I just can't seem to simplify it.
