What does a shareware devloper do with $100 million?


In 1999 AOL acquired Winamp creator Nullsoft, the shareware company founded by Justin Frankel, for $100 million. Frankel left AOL earlier this year and is now working on his new project, the Jesusonic!

Nullsoft and Frankel were back in the news in November when AOL shut down what remained of Nullsoft.
