about .p5i :)

Yes, I believe so. I decided to call out Toshiba because it was an  
announcement in between the 2 release dates for 2008.11 and 2009.06,  
and thought it was worth a mention that 2009.06 should run fine on it.  
I'll add a link to the Laptop community as well.

thanks for the review,
