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.

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.
