Apple Magic Trackpad + Inertial Scrolling for most MacBooks/Pros!

I just downloaded, updated and installed Magic Trackpad and Multi-Touch Trackpad Update 1.0 and BOOM...I have inertial scrolling on my Apple MacBook Pro 5,1 (late 2008)!  I've been dreaming of this moment for quite a while since using my colleague's newer MacBook Pro that touted this feature.  Thanks Apple for looking after the older guys with the first-gen trackpads. =) If you have any of these models below, update away and be impressed!  Supported gestures include a three-finger drag and inertial scroll for MacBook and MacBook Pro systems.
