foo >>= bar

executes the action "foo" and passes its result to the function "bar" 
(which must then return another action, which is executed).

foo >> bar

executes the action "too", and then executes the action "bar". Any 
result generated by "foo" is discarded, and "bar" must be an action 
rather than a 1-argument function that *returns* an action.

Make any sense?
