ASPIRE Astrophysics Science Project Integrating Research and Education

Java 1.2 has been released. Outside of concerns over compatbility with specific software packages (e.g. Pueblo) we recommendend it over 1.1. The 1.1 versions of the labs are maintained to support those teachers unable to transition immediately to 1.2. Please give us your feedback. If you encounter problems Technical Assistance is available.
