Didn't work for Nullsoft, did it?
- tptacek 16y agoCase in point for "don't fuck with it".
- huhtenberg 16y agoFrom what I gather AOL didn't really "fuck" with Nullsoft, they kept working on what they wanted. Justin & Co. got bored being a big corp subsidiary and needing to work on WinAmp (which is what they were acquired for). And so it just didn't really whip llama's ass for them anymore, they escalated and quit. Effectively it was them fucking with AOL, not the other way around.
