20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Apr. 7, 1999 -- Don't Mess with Taxes; the Return of Sports-Bra Stock Art Fitness Women

April 7, 1999: We started the morning with "Don't Mess With Taxes," a play on the world's most famous anti-littering campaign (the Kosovo War and accompanying refugee crisis [big for its time, the late 2010s laughs, hollowly] remain in the top text spot):

For the PM update, we were back to spring fitness, featuring the return of spandex sports-bra stock art fitness women (though did they truly ever leave?):

[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.]
