I don't remember the exact "how" of my finding DealMac, but I believe it was '97. I was somewhat new to the Mac world--we'd had an Apple ][+ around 1980/1981, but throughout the late 80s, I didn't do a lot of computer stuff, then in the early 90s, my dad gave me an IBM PS/2 that he no longer needed, and I got online via "Prairienet" which was started at the University of Illinois College of Library Science (or something like that). They gave you a username, and a phone number to connect to via modem, and then you could access the web via Lynx, email via Pine, and Usenet.....glorious Usenet!
My dad sold me his LCIII in 1996 or 1997, and it was probably in learning how to use that that I came across DealMac.
