More or less, but session variable can hold after you immediately exit a browser, here 
is better description:

Session: Is stored in memory, and while faster is extremely volatile 'cuz if the 
server shuts down, all the variables go

Client: Stored in registry (whether database, NT, or otherwise) and while slower, is 
less volatile 'cuz they're on the hard disk.  If server shuts down, variables will be 
there when server comes back up.

Just remember this when coding your application.

Client variables are persistent from session to session for a single user.
Session variables are persistent only from one instance of a broswer being
opened.
