October 27, 1998: A lead promo for AOL Instant Messenter (AIM) 2.0. The graphic is a (clearly) faked up IM conversation. It would have been a great candidate for an animated gif treatment, but I don't remember if we had the capability to do that back in 1998, especially given file-size sensitivities for our 56k and 28.8 modem users:

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.]
