Don't worry, it's a common question.  I'm in the same position, except I've
had a GS for 3 years.  Anyway, after ftp'ing or whatever, just copy the files
onto a 3.5" (double density only -- not High density) and take it home.
Use A2FX (Apple II File Exchange) to copy the files to Apple II format, then
do whatever decrunching or Unshrinking you need to do (usually BinScii and 
ShrinkIt).  It's quite simple, and usually painless.  Send me email if you
have additional questions.
