[Coco] CoCo 3 HTTPS:\\ GUI Web Browser

[farna at amc-mag.com]

I don't see how this is lower cost than a Chromebook. You're essentially 
using a CoCo3 as a terminal for a Raspberry Pi. It's lower cost if you 
already have a CoCo, but the display will be so inferior to a cheap 
Chromebook or older cheap laptop running Chrome OS Flex, or better yet 
one of the "lean" Linux versions like Mint XFCE. You can also use the 
browser on something like an Amazon Firestick. It's a bit clunky, but 
with a Bluetooth keyboard isn't that bad. I've used it to show friends 
web pages on my HD TV. It's an interesting experiment for sure, but a 
keyboard and screen on the Pi is an all-round better solution.

I found that a real big screen isn't very good for many things! I had a 
computer connected to my 50" screen in my living room years ago. Great 
for games and things like YouTube, had to get a chair an move closer to 
the screen to read e-mail and some text intensive web pages! Then having 
to turn your head left to right as I read was annoying, so I'd downsize 
the window. That and having to sit closer to the TV made it rather 
impractical for general use. Still a great entertainment/game option 
though.
