actually an interesting thought:

"you might almost say the story [of the eu grid project egee] is a little bit like the analogy of OSI: struggling, and suddenly something comes which is much better and cleaner and that is 'the cloud'; the cloud allows what the grid dreamed of."

for me the cloud follows the concept of timesharing. now, the internet might have been the new timesharing model, but i am not sure if the cloud should be the new model for the internet. some say it looks like the old ptt telephone model.
