The extra cool thing
I have chatted and exchanged ideas with Brian during the development of this client.
In a sort of cool karmic thing, after I had used some of his Quicktake 150 pictures a few years ago to write and test my Quicktake 150 decoder, … he was now able to reuse my decoders to implement server-side conversion of native Quicktake files! So, you can upload .qtk files directly, and they’ll be visible in high-resolution color (!) on 640by480.com.
This upload comes from my Apple //c
