Neither you will have the "smart links" any time soon (and multitasking).
Apple seems to have adopted the well known IBM policy of announcing 
that they will "announce the availability of software at some future date".
That's what I call vaporware.  We'll have to wait for 1991 to see who has 
what.  I am enjoying multitasking TODAY. I don't have to wait for two years
to get it.
