#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Aug. 18, 1999 -- Lawyer Finder; "Roswell" Leads Fall TV

August 18, 1999: I think this is a first (or at least, a very uncommon) promo for legal services; in the Web Centers column, we see a new Legal item, which gives things a sort of sense; in the My News headlines, we see a set of not-quite-leadworthy headlines following up on the Turkey earthquake:

For the PM update, we went again with Back to School TV, in this case, Roswell:

[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.]
