Want to do a Z390 interactive debugging video
Been working on a short IBM Assembler video to show off this cool feature. These little projects are great for the mind. The newer interface of Kdenlive itself took a while to familiarize myself with.

Reset video card then lost 2 hard drives. Me thinks there all somehow related.
