Model 5251 terminals, which weighed in at a featherweight 79 pounds.

Way before my time (I was still a student at CSU Long Beach when the first IBM-PCs hit the market, and the PS/2 was already considered antiquated the first time I signed on to a D02).

The oldest Twinax terminal I ever used was a 3180, and considered *that* to be a boat-anchor. (But I *can* still make and repair Twinax cables competently well.)

My condolences to Mr. Drake's friends and family.
