	I can see this question taken a couple of ways. The way you probably 
intended (download Apple images to Linux/Windows and transfer to Apple) 
has already been answered.

	This is for the other possibilities (just to cover all bases). If you 
wanted to convert Linux/Windows disk images over to Apple// disk images 
you would not be able to do it on a //e. You would need a IIGS and a 
1.44MB floppy drive/controller card.

	Transferring files as files is easy and can be done with appropriate 
software and nullmodem cables (also answered already).

	Transferring programs and running them will not work (the Apple is not 
compatable with Intel code).

	Transferring files/programs and storing them as data is fine.

	Like I said, just covering the bases.
