Re: [IAEP] 172 XO-1s for $24 each (+ freight) $4,000 total

Having thought about this a bit more since this morning, I believe the best course of action would be to ask the recycler to directly donate the XO-1s to one or more projects which already accept them on a donation basis. These include the Columbus School for Girls (http://csgolpc.weebly.com/ ),

I'll be printing a poster, which I can put on my blog linked to planet.laptop.org if I figure out how to format it so it displays properly on a screen. I plan to write up my results in a formal paper once we get the data from the pilot concluding in June. On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 9:39 PM, Dave

I think if you tell the sponsor you want a stash to sell them, they'll be more than happy to keep them to sell for themselves. What Walter and I are getting at is that is servicing & reshipping 172 XOs (even if they come with 254 chargers + extra batteries) takes a lot more work than you may

I have to say I with Samuel Greenfeld on this one. There are lots of potential issues with these machines (depending upon how they have been stored and maintained.) They could well have dead batteries (both the main battery and the battery for the RTC). They most certainly will need an investment

Hi Dave, They are XO1s... does Sugar run OK on the XO1? $100 seems steep for an XO1. 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]. Maybe sell it for less? Or try $100 and see if we need to go
