Yep, very mainframe-ish, and I'll admit to being old enough to remember the time of these old dinosaurs (as they were dying out in the 80's.)

Maybe in different computing circles? OK though, I'll disregard the generic bit (you've all worn me down), I just wanted the principle of the thing. (And I notice my source did spell Softgrid with a capital 'S', so what you lot are on about, is probably indeed what he is on about, I daresay he was trying to make it simple for me...)

I probably snipped out other crucial bits, but the explanation I got does for me, I respect my source.
Well I'm not old enough but I do quite commonly use SSH to connect to another computer so I can use computers like it's 1969 (except I'm using SSH rather than Telenet and my terminal has colour).

Secure Shell (bet that helped so much; didn't it?) if you really want to enter a world of pain you can read about it on Wikipedia . It's really not that interesting though; unless you are in to those sorts of things.
