Computer Science and APCS Java-based Materials

Note from Joe: I've changed the username/password combination for everything but the MBS files. Please email me for it and let me know that you need access to materials other than the MBS stuff. Here's the explanation:

I inadvertantly posted the username and password for all of these files. For the Java MBS files it probably doesn't matter much, since this is the last school year anyway. However, other Java materials posted use the same password. Since I promised to safeguard this material from kids in a reasonable way, I changed the username and password for everything but the MBS worksheet answers. I apologize for this inconvenience. I think I've managed to make the right changes!

Actually, after seeking permission from the various authors, I will soon be moving material to the Computer Science Web Repository which I've been helping Debbie Carter with. More info soon.
