Please enumerate why you think this.
Would XO-4s be any better?

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/ ),

Hi Sora
I'm curious about your presentation that is coming up in a couple of
weeks - will your slides be available online? :)

I doubt it - due to the labour costs you describe below :)

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 reali

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.

Hi
There also seem to be a lot of old toughbooks floating around for
cheap, so if we are going to give up on the XO-1 this year, perhaps
those might be the 'weapon of choice' moving forwards

I think there's probably more education going on in the former, but
what do you see as the difference in terms of sugar

OK, if I understand you correctly, your idea is to recruit Sugar developers
by selling them XO-1s individually?
This would be more efficient than engaging a computer science professor

Well, are we supporting XO-1s in the next 3 releases or not?

FOB (Freight on Board) means that the responsibility for customs fees,
shipping charges, etc. belongs to the buyer. XOs directly purchased from
OLPC historically had similar terms.

Is that referring to the charging docks or the palette of laptops?

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 lower?
