WWWE Logo Client

In the Internet world, client typically refers to the Web browser (such as Netscape or Mosaic), but it can also refer to programs that interact with servers on other computers. This use derives from the client/server concept where a user runs a front-end application (client) on their desktop while heavy work requested by the client takes place on another machine (server).
