Hey. The shipping cost for an Indigo2 is $130 (got the price from one of
the online dealers). You can buy a Sparc5 for about $150 or so. That's a
decent box (Pentium-90 class or so). So the shipping will double the
price. Bummer for you.
Alex Timbol was trying to sell me his Sparc IPX. Actually swap it for PC
hardware. You might manage to pry it out of him for < 5000 pesos. :)
