Was the Shuttle on a Silicon Graphics?

[Pablo Fernicola]

During the live coverage of the LDEF retrieval by the shuttle, TV showed
what seemed to be an animation of the retrieval process as it was happening,
ie. it would seem that the data being relayed by the shuttle (its position,
LDEF's position and the robotic arm's position and velocity) was being
animated in real time. This is not the sequence where one sees a 3D view
of the shuttle and satellite, but it was a screen with 3 views of the
shuttle, satellite, and arm.  Also, the pictures seemed to come from a 
control center.
To me, the computer seemed to be a Silicon Graphics.  Can anybody confirm
that?
