20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Mar. 29, 1999 -- Tax Help, Duke vs. UConn in NCAA Final

March 29, 1999: We started Monday with free tax help; Operation Allied Force (the NATO air strikes in Kosovo) remained in the top text spot and My News headline:
1999_03_29

For the PM update, we went with the NCAA men's final (Duke vs. UConn):
1999_03_29a
And, in a personally painful note, I had to do a realtime update after UConn beat Duke to take the title:
1999_03_29b
[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.]
