20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Feb. 23, 1999 -- Stress Quiz and Sports

February 23, 1999: We started out with an stress quiz using an amusing retro stock photo, along with Hometown AOL and online apparel shopping:

For the PM update, we went with another Sports item featuring baseball and Big Unit Randy Johnson. In the My News items, we see a conviction in the Texas dragging death of James Byrd, Jr., as well as more on the Kosovo War:

[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.]
