[Panel 1, labelled "1997": Elvie's mum is talking to Elvie's grandmother, showing off her Apple Newton. Elvie is a toddler, on the floor playing with alphabet blocks]
Mum: My Apple Newton handles my calendar, emails, browsing, games and more. It's even got a built-in personal assistant, for only $599
Gran: It'll never catch on -- it's too big and too expensive.
[Panel 2, labelled "2017": Elvie is talking to her mum, showing off her Apple iPad. Elvie's niece is on the floor playing with her unicode blocks from the previous two strips]
Elvie: My Apple iPad handles my calendar, emails, browsing,
games and more. It's even got a built-in personal assistant, for only $799
Mum: Wow! That's a bargain! And twelve inches is such a handy size that you could take it out with you instead of a camera.
