Hi. I would like to run an apple iie program that I wrote, for weeks on end, maybe months. The question is, can I leave it turned on and running, day and night for this long? Are these prone to overheating?

Consider how many BBS's were run 24/7/365 on their apple 2's

Apart from installing an electric fan and reducing the plug-in cards to the minimum, you could take a few other simple precautions: take off anything sitting on top of the apple, remove the lid, make sure there is no direct sunlight and the room itself is not too warm, etc.

The thing you are trying to avoid is trapped air inside that will just keep getting hotter.
