I think my dad used them - I don't remember them though.
I do remember he had a bunch of programs on punch cards, and still does
- though he has started raiding them to use as note paper.

I also remember he had a ?? 300baud acoustic coupler that he would use
to dial his terminal in to the Berkeley game machine so that we could
play Adventure and Rogue and Wumpus :D

OK - most of the time he used it to dial in to do work, but many nights
he let us play.
