20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Oct. 1, 1998 -- Dow Dips 210

October 1, 1998: Started out the day with a pretty tame Personal Finance promo with a tip on paying for college...

...and then the Dow dropped. Fortunately, we had a piece of stock art ready from the last time:

We ended the day with a simple wording change to ask, "What Happened?"

[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.]
