  from the PLATO system, early 1970s: -user-, for seeing 
  all the users on the system and being able to start 
  TERM-talk with them (I think with just one press of the

  Without seeing the actual patent application, I'll toss out the prior 
  art of using "finger" for presence notification, and the "talk" program 
  for instant messages.
