How do you do this?

But the DECstation still works, eh?  That's rad.  I have an SGI Indigo I'd
be glad to give to you next time you come out to California.  Basically the
same processor as the DEC, but running with opposite endianness.  IRIX has
a native web browser that is reasonably fast, too, though the bad news is 
that it's Netscape 4.  The good news is that the Indigo will look way cooler 
on the desk in your office.
