#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Oct. 14, 1999 -- AIM 3.0; New Cars for Y2K

October 14, 1999: The morning was the standard AIM 3.0 chat promo; not sure why I have "Free Web Chat" penciled in on the printout. I guess "AIM 3.0 - New!" wasn't descriptive enough:
1999_10_14
For the PM update, we went with new cars for Y2K, leading with a... Ford Focus?

[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.]
