First, modern webpage needs a modern computer. Most web pages would
never fix the memory of a CoCo 3 with 512k. The CoCo graphics system
could never handle the images or fonts. Even if it could, it would
takes minutes to build the webpage.
I see many computer users dump a 10 year old computer because it takes
to long to render a webpage. Why would you think that a 30 your old
computer could surf the web?
Now, a CoCo could serve simple web pages. I've used micro-controllers
to server webpage as the user's front end and a CoCo could do the same.
