       The main purpose of client-server systems is isolation of the
manipulation of important data from the (probably graphical) user
interface.  Whether both reside on the same machine is not the central issue.
GUI-based applications tend to be mostly user interface in terms
of code volume, and breaking up the program into a user-friendly
client and a server whose users are programs seems to be a good
division of labor.
