20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Mar. 7, 1999 -- NCAA Tournament Preview, and a Possible Preview Mistake

March 7, 1999: Sunday's lead was a preview of the NCAA men's basketball tournament, which would begin the following Thursday:
1999_03_07
Now, I have a preview screenshot that suggests we did a PM update that featured tax help, though I'm not convinced that it ever went live on Sunday, since it features the same content as the following Monday AM slot:
1999_03_07a
[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.]
