I'm still having a blast with Quicktake for Apple II from @colin_mcmillen. It's pretty cool (and rather geeky) to be walking around in public these days with a QuickTake 200 in my pocket. :-P
And new features are on the way...

I'm glad I upgraded my PC in 2023.
Got a new CPU, motherboard, and RAM from MicroCenter in an in-store deal at the time (their combo deals are insane even today) whereby I was given 32GB of DDR5-6000 DRAM for 1 penny. (Its list price in the store was $149.99.)
I just did a NewEgg search for the same DRAM kit and found it at $933.99.
