[Panel 1: Elvie is sitting by a Christmas tree, wearing a festive jumper andsurrounded by packaging, looking grumpy]

Elvie: It's Christmas again. Time for another round of rubbish gadgets and USB-powered tat.

This year I've received two USB cup warmers, a USB desk fan, a rather disturbing dog-shaped memory stick and a USB chameleon that doesn't even change colour!

[Panel 2: Close up of Elvie's hand holding an e-reader with her wish list on it]

Elvie: Doesn't anyone ever read my wish list?

[The wish list reads as follows]
• Renew subscription to Linux Voice
• Pimoroni stuff
• Aura H2O e-reader
• Henry Audio DAC
• Libreboot X200
• NO MORE USB POWERED GADGETS !!!
