I think I'd like to get a CDROM upgrade. I'd like to replace the CD-224E with a DVD/CDRW combo drive. It would make my future Linux install easier and allow greater utility.
I will have to dissect the machine to find out why the pointing stick does not work. The buttons are fine, but the stick just won't respond. Fortunately, I was supplied with an external mouse.
