20 Years Ago on AOL.com: July 27, 1998 -- Space Photo

[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.]

July 27, 1998: Pretty nondescript lineup. Research & Learn was a low-priority, low-performing Web Center, even with space photos.

One thing no one else will care about: I'm an Oxford comma guy. Always have been. And yet the My News promo omits it. (Previous promos all used the Oxford comma.) A troubling lapse? Or a sign of things to come? (This sounds like foreshadowing, but it doesn't mean anything.)
