And a Lynx-type text HTML parser would be pretty easy to write on a  
CoCo. They have done it (including TCP/IP stacks) on the Commodore 64  
and other machines with less CPU and memory -- and this is one area a  
Sprite generator or hardware music chip won't help.

So it could be done... Just no one that knows how, has wanted to do it.
