Wrong, but thank you for playing. :) The actual *hardware* may present a Harvard architecture, but if the program that's running is an interpreter, *that* can (if it so chooses) present a Von Neumann architecture to the interpreted program (because to *it*, both the interpreted program and the interpreted program's data are *bot* just data to the interpreter). Hint: Most modern microprocessors are essentially a Harvard architecture under the hood - but they have no problems looking very Von Neumann-y to the operating system... :)
