I think Morbo means something that would tell you automatically as each
person connects or disconnects -- sending you a message like "Bluestar
has logged in" or "Bluestar has left the game" -- and not limited to
particular players, as 'profile' is.

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in the 21st Century:



ABBOTT: Super Duper Computer Store... Can I help you?



COSTELLO: Thanks. I'm setting up an office in my den, and I'm thinking about

buying a computer.



ABBOTT: Mac?



COSTELLO: No, the name's Lou.



ABBOTT: Your computer?



COSTELLO: I don't own a computer. I want to buy one.



ABBOTT: Mac?



COSTELLO: I told you, my name's Lou.



ABBOTT: What about Windows?



COSTELLO: Why? Will it get stuffy in here?



ABBOTT: Do you want a computer with windows?



COSTELLO: I don't know. What will I see when I look in the windows?



ABBOTT: Wallpaper.



COSTELLO: Never mind the windows. I need a computer and software.



ABBOTT: Software for windows?



COSTELLO: No. On the computer! I need something I can use to write
proposals, track expenses and run my business. What have you got?



ABBOTT: Office.



COSTELLO: Yeah, for my office. Can you recommend anything?!



ABBOTT: I just did.



COSTELLO: You just did what?



ABBOTT: Recommend something.



COSTELLO: You recommended something?



ABBOTT: Yes.



COSTELLO: For my office?



ABBOTT: Yes.



COSTELLO: OK, what did you recommend for my office?



ABBOTT: Office.



COSTELLO: Yes, for my office!



ABBOTT: I recommend office with windows.



COSTELLO: I already have an office and it has windows! OK, let's just
say, I'm sitting at my computer and I want to type a proposal. What do I
need?



ABBOTT: word.



COSTELLO: what word?



ABBOTT: word in office.



COSTELLO: the only word in office is office.

ABBOTT: the word in office for windows.



COSTELLO: which word in office for windows?



ABBOTT: the word you get when you click the blue w.



COSTELLO: I'm going to click your blue w if you don't start with some
straight answers. OK, forget that. Can I watch movies on the Internet?



ABBOTT: yes, you want real one.



COSTELLO: maybe a real one, maybe a cartoon. What I watch is none of
your business. Just tell me what I need!



ABBOTT: real one.



COSTELLO: If it's a long movie I also want to see reels 2, 3 & 4. Can I
watch them?



ABBOTT: of course.



COSTELLO: great, with what?



ABBOTT: real one.



COSTELLO: OK, I'm at my computer and I want to watch a movie. What do I do?



ABBOTT: you click the blue 1.



COSTELLO: I click the blue one what?



ABBOTT: the blue 1.



COSTELLO: is that different from the blue w?



ABBOTT: the blue 1 is Real one and the blue w is word.



COSTELLO: what word?



ABBOTT: the word in office for windows.



COSTELLO: but there are three words in office for windows!

ABBOTT: no, just one. But it's the most popular word in the world.



COSTELLO: it is?



ABBOTT: yes, but to be fair, there aren't many other words left. It
pretty much wiped out all the other words out there.



COSTELLO: and that word is real one?



ABBOTT: real one has nothing to do with word. Real one isn't even part
of office.



COSTELLO: stop! Don't start that again. What about financial bookkeeping
you have anything I can track my money with?



ABBOTT: money.



COSTELLO: that's right. What do you have?



ABBOTT: money.



COSTELLO: I need money to track my money?



ABBOTT: it comes bundled with your computer.



COSTELLO: what's bundled to my computer?



ABBOTT: money.



COSTELLO: money comes with my computer?



ABBOTT: yes. No extra charge.



OSTELLO: I get a bundle of money with my computer? How much?



ABBOTT: one copy.



COSTELLO: isn't it illegal to copy money?



ABBOTT: Microsoft gave us a license to copy money.



COSTELLO: they can give you a license to copy money?



ABBOTT: why not, they own it.
