20 Years Ago on AOL.com: August 9, 1999 -- Bulls, Bears, Browns

August 9, 1999: No surprises, with another Monday morning focused on market news and the standard trading floor photo; as noted, besides the promo block featuring two stock-related items and stock chat, we also have a stock portfolio link and a quote lookup box in the Daily Essentials:

For the PM update, we went with preseason NFL action and the Cleveland Browns in the 1999 Hall of Fame Game (Spoiler: they lost):

[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.]
