I'm old enough to have used gopher*!
- admittedly it was at an internet course at college, and it was
already hardly used. Just out of interest, I've just done apt-get install gopher, and tried running gopher for the 2nd time in my life...well at least it was quick....ish.
You don't need a separate client these days. Most browsers will support gopher. Try: http://gopher.quux.org:70/ in the browser of your choice.
