In the ad block, the lower right house ad says "Buzzsaw Knows." I had to look it up, but it was apparently one of AOL's online humor plays. (Maybe an AOL Greenhouse project? Who knows?):

20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Dec. 20, 1998 -- New Cars for 1999, PC-Buying, and Holiday Outfits. Plus, What Was Buzzsaw?
December 20, 1998: The promo block featured a color scheme seemingly inspired by Yellow Cabs, with a standard holiday lineup. For updates on the Clinton impeachment, we let the dynamic news headline (not seen here) do the work.

[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.]
