August 25, 1998: The top promo block is a mini-package around Hurricane Bonnie, which formed the week before, featuring Research & Learn, My News, and a shameless, fruitless shopping promo (online grocery buying wasn't really a thing back in '98).
I also wrote a really lame text promo using an obvious, hacky reference to My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean.
[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.]
