20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Apr. 14, 1999 -- Free Maps and Directions; Tick, Tock, Taxes; Quayle for President

April 14, 1999: We went again with Maps and Directions (Mapquest in the pre-Google Maps era), along with the Computing Web Center and CD buying online:

[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.]
