Absolutely yes. I would estimate that the word "client" accounts for at least a few hours of unproductive confusion for each new Perforce user. I'd say that adds a hundred bucks or so onto the real per-user cost of Perforce.
I use the term "client workspace" almost always when working with people, and that helps a lot. However, if you're gonna kill this bird, find the pigeon named "'the term 'client machine needs to be cleaned up, also" and toss a rock at it, too. ("P4HOSTNAME" makes sense to me, anyhow, and the Host: field in "p4 workspace" would be "Hostname:".)
Then "client" will mean "the client program (e.g. p4 or p4win or p4web and, perhaps, the API?)" and only that.
