Is there an easy way to display the number of people on line in a block?
I guess to show how many are registered customers would be a little more involved.

Hi Chris,
Yes, there's a way. You would need to have two things in place:
1.) You could record how many IP addresses have logged into the site in the last XX amount of minutes/seconds, and have them expire after XX amount of minutes/seconds
2.) You could show how many registered users are currently online. This could just be copied directly from the admin panel in a way, as the user list shows how many people you have currently added on.
I have implemented a custom block in my new VirteCart system that will show what's been added to carts within the last 30 minutes ... more of a what's popular right now type of deal.
