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.
