I was leafing through the SMU Law School alumni magazine when I came upon this photograph of the school's first online computer research terminal from Lexis. This is the exact machine we learned to do legal research on in my first year of law school. It took hours. No wonder I preferred to use the books. I still do, although I have to admit online legal research has become a lot easier.

I learned to use Westlaw and Lexis back in 1989 when I was in paralegal school, by then we were using PCs but the tech was still very new.
