yeah... see... I kinda abused the word again.
in my mind, an Activity is an abstract concept, it's more like.. everything 
you're using to do a particular task. and we make it concrete (therefore 
easier for users to get a handle on) by tying it to a containment (or set of 
containments if you have >1 screen).
