On that note, why not make a program that can do simple http grabs, and
run a translator on a free website host that offers CGI?  you can build a
cgi script that tranlates the webpage to WML or some other simplified
markup language with embedded images added, and just point the c64 to said
website.

Hm, how aobut someome with plenty-o-bandwidth make a central c64->net
