'''Thomson''' is a French High-Tech corporation who produced Weapons or HI-FI Electronic devices.
It used to produce 8-bit home computers in the 80's though sub-companies : '''SIMMIVSIMIV''' (Société Internationale de Micro-Informatique et de Vidéo) also known as '''Thomson Micro.''' (1983-1989)
When the Amstrad arrived they whipped them out of the French market, they remain a well known fail in France, and are still quite beloved in this country by those who knew them at school.

=NanoRéseau=
The nanoréseau is a system that connects up to 31 Thomson MO-TO microcomputers (TO7, TO7/70, MO5, etc.), called "nanomachines," to a more powerful machine known as the "network head."
This allows the nanomachines to leverage the superior capabilities of the network head, particularly access to floppy disks and a printer.
