Client : Customer
A client is a system that accesses a (remote) service on another computer by some kind of network. The term originated from devices that were not capable of running their own stand-alone programs, but could interact with remote computers via some network. These dumb terminals were clients of the time-sharing mainframe computer. The client/server model[?] is still used today on the Internet, where a user may connect to a service operating on a remote system.See also, server.
In ancient Rome, a client was someone, usually a freed slave, who was attached to a rich patron[?] benefactor; this was necessary for many who were not legally able to secure citizenship, a right initially reserved for the patrician class.
In traditional commerce and in the marketing and provision of services, a client or customer consumes or benefits from a product or service.

What should we fear, then? whence might any
Beside thee. Nay, but kneel not--rise, and fly
Kiss me. The ways all round are wide and wild -
My last friends left--who saw me fallen, and fled
Fly: not your love can keep my life in me -
Thy very child.html">child is she--no heart less high
Our fate is fallen upon us, and its woe.
Is not so hard. We have had sweet life to friend,
Die, and but few find evening one with morn

And die some death not half so sweet as this.
To cast my hand away in death, Locrine?
