November 30, 1998: The promos are pretty prosaic (although what the hell does "High DVDends" mean?); you can see in first page preview we're continuing to promote the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan (remember her?)
product placement movie
You've Got Mail, which would open in a few weeks:
In the mid-day update, you can see a few perfectly reasonable and not at all capricious changes below the fold:
- In the AOL NetFind column, we moved Personal Home Pages down in favor of Yellow Pages; the first text link listing is still "Search the Web," directly below the functional search box argh
- In the Shopping column, we changed the mini-turkey to a mini-Christmas tree—though at that size, it could have been anything
- And in the Free Products column, the AIM 2.0 Beta is now an AIM 2.0 Preview

Series note: In the late 1990s, I programmed the content for the AOL.com home page,
which relaunched with a new design on July 14, 1998.
I printed screencaps and saved them. 20 years later, I'm scanning them
in and posting them with a little commentary under the tag
#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom.]
