Yes, that's what it means. :-) Get a GOOD machine for your front desk.. don't skimp. Fast CPU, fast memory, fast NIC card, and a fast hard drive. Put your database there for now.
If you're going to go wireless for the laptops, get one of the new 802.11n routers - they cost more but are worth the extra few bucks.
Add the server once the cashflow is positive, or you have more than 2 machines using the front desk as a 'server'
OK, here's a weird scenario.. if you are doing most of the work on the laptop, put the database THERE, and share it with the front desk if they're only booking appointments!
