	By The Edit PC I mean the Dell Dimension desktop machine that was bought (mostly with YUSU grant) in Autumn 2003, and immediately put into service. Despite some misgivings about a commodity windows machine running XP Home edition and Adobe Premiere 6.5, it has proved a workhorse editing machine, having produced four [[Best Broadcaster]] edits to date (2004-2007). In that time the only upgrades have been a DVD burner, larger hard drives (during which Windows XP Pro was installed) and (recently) a memory upgrade.

	It ~~still remains~~ the ~~major play out computer~~ for live ~~work~~, ~~because~~ it ~~is more conveniently situated than~~ the ~~nominally faster~~ [[~~Edit~~ PC 2]].		It remained the primary live playout machine up to October 2010, when [[Michael Cullen]] came up with XineNet Desktop, enabling remote control of the [[video server]] for live VT playout. This meant any machine could be used to run the software, although it stayed on the renamed VTPC for several months, up until [[Graphics PC]] was forced into retirement and this machine moved to fill its place.
