Using the Google Cr-48 for Coding

You cannot replace the optical with battery on MBPs. I know older Thinkpads had that ability, but I haven't checked any of the new ones. Regardless, Lenovo seems to be dropping all the funky/awesome Thinkpad accessories from their site.

You can still do this with many of the newest Thinkpads. They call it the "Ultrabay". Example: http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPo...

You could replace the floppy drive with a second battery pack on the PowerBook 5x0, in 1994. OK, I know this is useless trivia but I still have one :)
