We could also offer a 100% buy-back scheme to get them back if they aren't used regularly, and various discounts up to 100% for developers who want to pay $0 but are actively contributing. > In the USA, apparently less than $100 yeilds > you a "tablet" from "Walmart" (can't vouch for anything... just searched it > on the net) [1].

And that's the retail price! :) I'm very sure you could get those units for less if we bought 150 from an OEM distributor, and like Sam G and Walter said, if we send enough well written donation requests we'd probably get a stash for $0 down. While, I think the XOs have immediate visceral excitement power, and it will help us support XO-1s, perhaps we should abandon XO-1 support and shift more modern but generic devices. Also, FedEx can sponsor shipments. _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
