20 Years Ago on AOL.com: Apr. 8, 1999 -- Cheaper, Faster, Better PCs, Then Love@AOL

April 8, 1999: For the morning, we had online computer shopping in the top spot, followed by the continuing NATO strikes in Yugoslavia, and 40% off the "Latest Stephen King." (Presumably it was The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon... I didn't remember it either.)

For the evening, we had a "Got Love?" promo for Love@AOL, the AOL personals product powered by Match.com:

[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.]
