Apple IIe question

["Malke" <mrouth_remove_this_bit@mindspring.com>]

Hi, everyone.  A friend just gave me two Apple IIe's because she knows I
like old computers and she was going to throw them out.  I very shyly and
humbly admit to you that I have never owned an Apple (cringe, cringe, oh
please don't flame me!) so know nothing about them.  I did call the Apple
users' group here in Fresno, and the guy laughed when I asked him if anyone
would want these.  He called them dinosaurs.  From looking at this
newsgroup, I see that obviously lots of people don't think so.  He did
explain that they didn't have a hard drive, though, but booted from whatever
floppy you had in there.  So, I beg your indulgence, but if someone could
tell me a good source to get software (the kids would love to play some
little games, for instance) and if these Apples need special care and
feeding, I'd be really grateful.  I do love old computers, even though I
have several powerful new ones.  There is something charming about the
oldies.  My ancient IBM 386, named Junior, is very lovable.

Anyway, I hope you'll forgive a PC person for posting here, but I'd like to
learn about my Apples.  Thanks for your help.  Malke
