No, the Crimson didn't even have the 'power on' LED on, so it was a prop.

Behind the scenes they used a ton of PowerSeries and other systems (check the 'making of' on the DVD). The display was probably controlled by one of those

Thanks for the info, I'll have to check the 'making of' on the DVD out.

I just thought it was quite amusing to see!

Wasn’t the scene showing all the power series taken from one of ILMs 3 computer rooms used for rendering?

I wonder if the interface was manufactured...  only ‘we’ would noticed these things
