Fannie,

If you have your pc working and can access web sites, I suggest you pay 
a visit to the following URL and explore all it has to offer you with 
your new needs for the Apple IIe.  

That URL: http://www.wco.com/~3d5d1wsw/

Be sure to explore it all, especially the HTML document A2.vendor.html.
That document covers anything you could possibly want for your recently 
obtained Apple IIe.  I suggest you contact Quality Computers for 
educational software, the most current available for the Apple IIe.
They have a new Apple 2 specific catalog they can also send you by mail, 
upon your request.  Give them a toll-free call -> 1-800-890-8263. 

You may wish to explore the folder on the above noted URL -> gsezine 
also.  That folder will take you to many new links of recently 
discovered web sites from many other commercial Apple II specific
vendors of software, such as MECC, a leader in educational software, 
offering a multitude of Apple IIe software for your 8 year old daughter 
to use and enjoy.

The gsezine folder will link you right into GS WorldView EZine, a 
FREEWARE on-line publication that I'm the Editor of, which is devoted to 
promoting information and help for all Apple II owners and users. And, 
the best part of it all is it's all presented for 100% FREE, as a 
labor-of-love, from me, because I enjoy doing it and it's needed!

I hope the above information proves to be useful with your needs.

Cheers,

Charles T. 'Dr. Tom' Turley
