Unfortunately, not in a good way. More like a run of bad luck.

I about choked when you brought up grid computing, because this spring I had a consulting gig with a startup doing one kind of grid computing, founded by one of the eminences in the field (I'm being cagey because my non-disclosure agreement is still in effect and this is about all I can say). Grid computing isn't a replacement for the Internet, or any network architecture for that matter; it's a way of connecting lots of computers together to amass huge amounts of computer power (i.e., it's a supercomputer architecture), and in other applications it's a way of flexibly providing computing power on-demand as the workload fluctuates. See also "virtualization".

Might I respectfully suggest that you do a little reading before trying to argue with me about this stuff? Wikipedia's always a good place to start (though Tom's right to point out that you have to be careful sometimes, and that the links are as valuable as the articles). Try grid computing for starters.

I can tell you never clicked the links I provided to histories of the Internet, otherwise you wouldn't have made so many misstatements in your last three posts. So maybe you'll ignore my advice now too, but that'd be a shame.
