#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Oct. 28, 1999 -- PC Buying Guide; Love@AOL Personals; AOL Stock Split

October 28, 1999: Nothing too special, leading with a fairly colorful PC shopping promo up top:

For the PM update, we went once again with that weird rose-tinted Love@AOL promo; if you look down in the corporate links section, you see that AOL announced a 2-for-1 stock split. That definitely made the employees happy:

[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.]
