Add an Example App or More Explanation #7

I'm not sure if it makes sense to try and write an example application, but perhaps just include more detail in the README about the motivation of the project. I was able to run the server and client apps just fine and send messages (and even tried multiple clients, worked nicely!), but I imagine there may be some who come to review and aren't sure how to get started or are left with a "so what?" feeling.

Exactly my thoughts at first; I set up the server, set up the client, and ran some non-realtime chat that reminded me a bit of a project I did for another class last year. So what? I double-checked the README to see if I missed anything, and saw the line I glossed over: "An implementation of AES and message sending." This is plain cool! You're using Advanced Encryption Standard for secure communication, inside a python program, no less. But not everyone knows what that is, or how cool it is, so it might be good to tell them!
