Question: Were TIM-011 and The Interact Home Computer developed in different countries?

<P0-S0> The Hotbit HB-8000 is an MSX home computer developed and sold by the Brazilian subsidiary of Sharp Corporation through its EPCOM home computer division in mid-1980s. <P0-S1>  The MSX machines were very popular in Brazil at the time, and they virtually killed all the other competing 8 bit microcomputers in the Brazilian market. <SEP> <P1-S0> The Interact Home Computer is a rare, very early (1978) American home computer made by "Interact Electronics Inc" of Ann Arbor, Michigan. <P1-S1>  It sold under the name "interact Model One home computer". <P1-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. <P1-S3>  Interact Electronics Inc was a privately held company that was funded by Hongiman, Miller, Swartz and Cohn...a lawyer firm out of Detroit. <P1-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. <P1-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. <P1-S6>  Only a few thousand Interacts were sold before the company went bankrupt. <P1-S7>  Most were sold by the liquidator "Protecto Enterprizes" of Barrington, Illinois through mail order sales. <P1-S8>  The Interact Model One Home Computer debuted at the Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago in June 1978 at a price of $499. <P1-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. <P1-S10>  Probably the most successful application available for the Interace was a program called "Message Center". <P1-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. <P1-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. <P1-S13>  Customers began hooking up Interact to control everything from lights in their house, to a Chevrolet Corvette! <SEP> <P2-S0> TIM 011 was an educational or Personal computer for school microcomputer developed by Mihajlo Pupin Institute of Serbia in 1987. <P2-S1>  There were about 1200 TIM-011 computers in Serbian schools in the 1990s. <SEP> <P3-S0> In economics, fragmentation means organization of production in which different stages of production are divided among different suppliers that are located in different countries. <P3-S1>  Now products traded between firms in different countries are components instead of final products. <P3-S2>  Final products may be sold to outside the region in which fragmentation happens (East Asian countries often sell their final products to Europe and the USA for example). <P3-S3>  Producers in less developed countries get positions of production chain that add less value to final product. <P3-S4>  Their challenge is to "climb upwards" on transnational production chain. <P3-S5>  Production chains are often vertical hierarchies in which big multinational companies may be those who sell final products and set production standards for "lesser" producers. <P3-S6>  This kind of fragmentation is an important part of contemporary globalisation.
