A friend has web-based business and next week is attending a trade show where she needs to demonstrate her web-site on her Mac without Internet access. I guess if this was as simple HTML site this would be OK (she has all the relevant files from her FTP site) but it runs using ASP. How can this be set up on a MacBook. Does she need to 'serve' the site on her MacBook any maybe this is not possible? Thanks.

asp is a microsoft technology so it won't run on the Mac unless she boots into Windows or uses Parallels and serves it that way

OK. I thought this might be the case. Good to have it confirmed though.

For the future, she might consider switching to a PHP-driven website. Then she would be able to serve it locally on her Mac in OSX.
