hey, interesting thing. We had a guy from Monash here -- Abramson. Very
smart guy. He gave a good talk and described his work in grids.

Guess what it turns out grid programmers want to use? Not
GLOBUS_read_from_some_kinda_magic_globus_file_handle_on_odd_days.
Nosirree.

What they want, it turns out, is this:
read
write

That's about it.

Oh, wait, forgot the hard ones:
open
close

On the open, they want it to look like a file name.

Pretty wild, huh? Is there a place in here for Plan 9, possibly? :-)
