#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Nov. 15, 1999 -- Keep More Cash (by not paying to see Schwarzenegger's "End of Days")

November 15, 1999: Starting out the work week, we went with a Personal Finance promo, only in a shockingly unexpected color scheme (red, not green):

For the PM update, we went with the Arnold Schwarzenegger film End of Days, where he battles Satan. You have to remember: This was 1999, and pre-millennial tension was a thing. (As opposed to the current post-millennial tension currently being felt. OK, boomer.):

[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.]
