The gold card is excellent. You do realize you will need a web browser
installed on the MP to access the Apache server. "Attaches" suggests
opening a network share, which the Windows box can do -- in that case
Apache would not be involved. The MP cannot attach to an network share.

As for browsers, I have used NewtsCape, until the license expired. Odd, but
very usable.

Something I have not tried is Simon's internet dock and his NCX.
<http://homepage.mac.com/simonbell/connection/>. Another resource Woody
mentioned here previously is

Hope this helps!
