#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Oct. 7, 1999 -- Stock Watch; Find Online Love

October 7, 1999: Green meant personal finance (the Dow had just jumped the previous day); in the My News headlines, we referenced the House (that would be the Republican-controlled House) passing health care tax breaks, and a Hindu alliance winning in India:

For the PM update, we went with faceless kissy woman stock art for Love@AOL photo personals:

[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.]
