First vintage computer: a boxed Apple IIe from an estate sale. Use it or leave it alone?

Grabbed this at an estate sale this morning. First vintage machine I’ve ever owned, kind of an impulse buy.

It’s all here: Apple IIe in the original box and foam, DuoDisk, 80-column card, all the manuals, and the rainbow stickers still sealed in the bag. Even has the original dealer sticker from CompuShop in Dallas.

It’s really clean. Almost too clean. It feels weird to be the guy who powers up a time capsule with zero Apple II experience.

So do I leave it as-is, or bring it back and actually learn on it? And if I boot it, what do I check first so I don’t fry anything?
