[Coco] [Color Computer] Coco on the 'net

[Fedor Steeman]

Hmmm... even though this may not be the way of connecting the coco to the
internet, it may inspire a way forward. Our CoCo will never be able to parse
and render modern day complex webpages. HTTP-requests routed through a
special server that does the hard work and delivers web pages in a format
that the CoCo can handle, that might actually work!

But those are just my € 0.05...

Cheers,
Fedor
