Client:

• A software program that is used to contact and obtain data from a server software program on another computer.  Each client program is designed to work with one or more specific kinds of server programs and each server requires a specific kind of client.

Okay, in plain English for those that are not uber geeks, a client is an external program that is powered and contacts the internet.  Some examples: Twhirl is a client for Twitter.  Trillian is a client for multiple instant messenger services like AIM, Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messenger), and Yahoo! Messenger.  Ya dig?
