Alright, I give up. Dear Fediverse #retrocomputing folks, I've been looking for a SPARCstation IPX or IPC for quite some time; anyone around who'd be willing to sell one? Preferably within Europe (I've found one offer on eBay, but it would be from the US and I don't have any confidence in overseas shipping right now.)

P.S. I'd be even happier about a SPARCstation IPC or SLC, but those are literal unobtanium 😭

P.P.S. LX/SPARCclassic (any lunchbox) are also fine 👍

🧼🔬 14-year-old Heman Bekele developed a revolutionary soap that reactivates immune cells to fight skin #cancer, inspired by memories of people working under the harsh Ethiopian #sun.

His #invention costs just $0.50 to produce compared to $40,000 cancer treatments, and he's now working at Johns Hopkins to bring it to underserved communities worldwide.
