You can download disk images from all over the Internet. Most
anything that ends in .dsk, .do or .po are Apple II disk images.
Now how to get those images from your computer to those Apple IIs,
I'm afraid you'll have to read this newsgroup in its entirety; there
seem to be lots of nooks and crannies to transferring files from PCs
to Apple //es. (I don't have any hands on experience in that aspect -
you'll have to ask the experts.)

Special care? No, those machines are sturdy! Just like the original
IBM PCs and ATs, they'll last forever. They're not clones or
anything, they're the real thing.
