Question: Which home computer was sold first, the Matra Alice or the IBM PS/1?

<P0-S0> The IBM PS/1 is a brand for a line of personal computers that marked IBM's return to the home market in 1990, five years after the IBM PCjr. <P0-S1>  It was replaced by the IBM Aptiva in September 1994. <SEP> <P1-S0> The Matra & Hachette Ordinateur Alice was a home computer sold in France beginning in 1983. <P1-S1>  It was a clone of the TRS-80 MC-10, produced through a collaboration between Matra and Hachette in France and Tandy Corporation in the United States. <SEP> <P2-S0> The IBM Aptiva personal computer was introduced in September 1994 as the replacement for the IBM PS/1. <P2-S1>  The first Aptiva models were based on the Intel 80486 CPU with later models using the Pentium and AMD CPUs. <P2-S2>  All systems were developed in-house except for the later E series which was developed by Acer. <P2-S3>  The last system was withdrawn in May 2001 without direct replacement when IBM decided to exit the home market. <P2-S4>  Customers were directed to the IBM NetVista, which was more targeted to business desktops. <P2-S5>  Most Aptiva models included a modem and a standby/hibernation feature called "Rapid Resume". <SEP> <P3-S0> The Interact Home Computer is a rare, very early (1978) American home computer made by "Interact Electronics Inc" of Ann Arbor, Michigan. <P3-S1>  It sold under the name "interact Model One home computer". <P3-S2>  The original Ineract Model One computer was designed by Rick Barnich and Tim Anderson at 204 E. Washington in Ann Arbor, then moving to an office in Georgetown Mall on Packard St in Ann Arbor. <P3-S3>  Interact Electronics Inc was a privately held company that was funded by Hongiman, Miller, Swartz and Cohn...a lawyer firm out of Detroit. <P3-S4>  The President/Founder of Interact Electronics Inc was Ken Lochner, who was one of the original developers of the BASIC language based out of Dartmouth college. <P3-S5>  Ken had started Interact Electronics Inc after a successful startup known as ADP Cyphernetics, the original computer time share company in Ann Arbor, now known as ADP Network Services. <P3-S6>  Only a few thousand Interacts were sold before the company went bankrupt. <P3-S7>  Most were sold by the liquidator "Protecto Enterprizes" of Barrington, Illinois through mail order sales. <P3-S8>  The Interact Model One Home Computer debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago in June 1978 at a price of $499. <P3-S9>  The majority of sales were thru Mail Order houses and you could buy it off the shelf at Highland Appliance in the Detroit, MI area and Newman Computer Exchange in Ann Arbor. <P3-S10>  Probably the most successful application available for the Interace was a program called "Message Center". <P3-S11>  With it, a store could type in whatever message they wanted to appear scrolling on a TV screen...like Advertisements, or welcoming messages to guests in an office. <P3-S12>  Although it was mostly a Game machine at the time with games such as Showdown, BlackJack and Chess, there was also BASIC programming where users could create their own programs in the BASIC computer language. <P3-S13>  Customers began hooking up Interact to control everything from lights in their house, to a Chevrolet Corvette!
