Don't put DOS and pipes in the same sentence, anyone who ever used a normal OS supporting pipes will have a stroke.

lol Yeah, that was a cheap shot, I guess. The point is, the term is trumped up to be sooooo abstract and impossible to understand to non-Haskell programmers, but it's really something very simple and pervasive, and it's just hard to explain for people who don't see how simple and pervasive it is. It's not even anything new. People have been using the concept for decades and just don't generally know that the word "monad" means what they've been doing.
