This toy should be able to be upgraded to 256megs of ram, and a 800mhz CPU. I don't think anyone NEEDS this toy, it's just a fun looking toy.

It looks like a bear to get into though. Note: The above site says you need a "Torx type of 3mm." So might want to make sure you have one before it arrived if you're buying the unit. :)

begrantii,
If you haven't, check out the link above. The 15th and 16th pages show the inside. It looks like you might be able to cut away the site, and install a slimline CD drive. Only time will tell. Once we start to get them, by the end of the week I hope, someone should be able to let you know.
You are probally better off going with an external USB drive if that's an option for you.
