Matra Alice
The Matra & Hachette Ordinateur Alice is a home computer sold in France beginning in 1983. 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. The Alice is distinguished by its bright red casing. Functionally, it is equivalent to the MC-10, with a Péritel (SCART) connector replacing the RF modulator for video output. The Alice never became a popular computer in its home country. It tried to invade schools by being part of the country's '' Plan Informatique pour Tous'' ("Information technology for everyone") programme, but Thomson won the whole deal. The original model had 4 kB of RAM and used a Motorola 6847 video display generator chip, as used in the Dragon 32 and Acorn Atom among others. At least three emulators for the system exist. Specifications The machine is similar to the TRS-80 MC-10, with the following specifications: * CPU: Motorola 6803 at 0.89 Mhz * RAM: 4 Ki ...

Alice (1988 Film)
''Alice'' is a 1988 surrealist dark fantasy film written and directed by Jan Švankmajer. Its original Czech title is ''Něco z Alenky'', which means "Something from Alice". It is a loose adaptation of Lewis Carroll's first Alice book, ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' (1865), about a girl who follows a white rabbit into a bizarre fantasy land. Alice is played by Kristýna Kohoutová. The film combines live action with stop motion animation, and is distinguished by its dark production design. For Švankmajer, a prolific director of short films for more than two decades, ''Alice'' became his first venture into feature-length filmmaking. The director had been disappointed by other adaptations of Carroll's book, which interpret it as a fairy tale. His aim was instead to make the story play out like an amoral dream. The film won the feature film award at the 1989 Annecy International Animated Film Festival. Plot Alice is sitting by a brook, throwing rocks in the water. She ...
