Summary: 

Some of the features mentioned in that Times article will not see the light
of day. 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!!!
