Wouldn’t be compare the iPad with a tablet from 1979 totally merciless?

Yes, he would.

Fortunately, Computerworld got a sufficient sense of humour and balance to present a comparison between iPad and an Apple Graphic Tablet with a light attitude. More curiosity than competition, and interest in retrocomputing rather than face-offs.

The Apple Graphic Tablet, by the way, was an amusing device, able to draw at 280 x 192 pixels resolution [way more than 0,5 megapixels! — Ed.] on an Apple II screen.

Well, it appears technology has indeed evolved.
