Winamp

mikm · 20th September 2003, 19:33

Welcome to the forums

Winamp is not a company, but Nullsoft is. And that means you own TimeWarner, because AOL bought Nullsoft in '99, then AOL and TimeWarner merged. Now, the TimeWanerboard voted to take AOL out of the TImeWarner name.

lol- in an old recording of Its a wonderful life, there is a message on the bottom of the screen about Warner cable.
