#20YearsAgoOnAOLcom: Dec. 10, 1999 -- Ready to Party, Plus Gifts They'll Keep

December 10, 1999: Headling into the weekend, we went with the holiday party theme, featuring a stock art model wearing a little black dress:

For the PM update, here's our first live screenshot of December: Gifts they'll keep, featuring TV (CRT, of course) and stereo gear. In the My AOL.COM headlines, we see that presidential candidate Senator Bill Bradley got heart treatment for atrial fibrillation (20 years later, we're seeing advertisements for a-fib drugs on TV):

[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.]
