It is not impossible, for example, to drag something around with a track ball, but it isn't Macish. Apple experiments with MANY things...seems that what the Times saw was several toys stuck in one room at once and their reporter happened to look in at the time. The codename Jonathan appears to have been a recycled codename a few months ago; if such a configuration still exists, its codename is probably different by now. My Christmas in January list includes 17 inch display tech and an 020. Attempting to multitask on 68000s (as opposed to 020s) is a lil slow, a lil dangerous, but MUCH bettern 8088s!!! -mike bentley ihnp4!aicchi!bentley My opinions are the same as everyone else's -- at one time or another.
