20 Years Ago on AOL.com: July 27, 1999 -- Hot Cars, Hot Women, Cool Kids, and the Yosemite Murders

July 27, 1999: We went back to car shopping and the Corvette stock art; the My News headlines reference the deadly US heat wave, as well as a motel handyman near Yosemite National Park who confessed to (and was later convicted of) four murders:

Mid-day, we switched over to a hot woman:

For the PM update, we switched to a little kid trying to cool off in a sprinkler:

[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.]
