	Client application Any application or compiled object intended to run on a client computer. Client/Server computing    The model or scheme underlying programs running on the Internet as well as other network and database software. In this design, the work of an application (such as FTP or www) is divided between two programs - the client (or "front end") and the server (or "back end"). The client program handles the work of connecting to the server and requesting files or information, and the server handles the work of finding and "serving up" the information (or of providing some other service such as directing documents to be printed to a printing device). Disk Cache A part of RAM that is set aside to temporarily hold data which is to be read from, or written to, a disk.
