> Alas, WASTE never caught on, in large part because it was disavowed by AOL shortly after it acquired WASTE developer Nullsoft.

Does the author imply that Nullsoft was acquired after WASTE's release ? Because I am almost certain Nullsoft was already a part of AOL at that time (and that the waste source code was online for a very short time before being pulled of).

Confirmed by wikipedia: Nullsoft was acquired in 1999 and WASTE released in 2003 (Justin Frankel left Nullsoft/AOL that same year).
