An Apple IIe Newbie, Help please?

["Dustin" <dustin@haelnet.com>]

I just acquired an apple IIe system from a local school.  I plugged it in
and turned it on and it seems to work.  I have 2    5.25 disk drives, but I
have no software.  I am a new user to apple so I really know nothing about
this system.  I have ordered some programs for the computer over the
internet, but I would like to know if I could do anything with this system
w/o software?  I see there are ports in the back for a casette deck, what's
that about??

Thanks,
Dustin
