Same. My dad bought our C128 second-hand from a guy at work and it came with a box of disks. Most were cracked games the previous owner had likely downloaded from BBSes or otherwise copied from other users (incidentally, how I discovered the demoscene, though I had no idea why so many of these programs and games had such awesome intro screens with great music and weird names in scrolling credits).

It's how I got to play a bunch of Infocom games and some other interesting stuff. But CP/M was boring and I only ever saw dad use it for word processing a few times. Most of my time was spent messing with games, getting S.A.M. to swear, and digging through the C128 BASIC manual to figure out how write programs to make pictures and play music.

edit: also use The Print Shop to create banners and use up all our printer paper, much to the chagrin of the aforementioned father.
