@source(Lexis: UBIQ terminal, @date(2026-10-16))

The above is the Lexis UBIQ™ terminal, released in 1979, two years before IBM® introduced its PC (1981)!

The UBIQ™ terminal took online legal research to another level. The UBIQ offered the first-ever desktop access, to Lexis’ full-text legal research database. As a result lawyers could retire cumbersome terminals operating on 300-baud modems (baud is a unit of transmission speed).
