The front end is the user interface part... The whole thing can be thought of
as being comprised of a few different parts (which can, but do not have to,
be on the same machine).
Frontend - yes, the GUI interface (talks to the backend)
Backend - handles recording and tracking scheduling, updates, etc.
Database - where all the info is stored
This does raise the guestion of should we add a glossary to the documentation.
While Bill has figured out that the frontend is the gui, I could see the
relevance to other things that people may want to look up.
