i am confused on the new release of the mini deal..

here is the posting
   http://googleenterprise.blogspot.com/2006/03/google-mini-for-mini-price.html

rajen sez "I'm happy because we're releasing a lower-cost version of the Google Mini that indexes up to 50,000 documents for $1995."

and then he points to the product mini web page http://www.google.com/enterprise/mini/

which sez :Now indexes and searches up to 100,000 documents
Works with over 220 different file formats, including HTML, PDF and Microsoft Office. Can be set up in under an hour and requires minimal ongoing administration. Costs just £1,995 for all hardware and software, including a year of support and hardware replacement coverage.

Point to note : $ and £ are not the same. 100K doc is not 50K docs!!

I jsut clicked the same link (http://www.google.com/enterprise/mini/) and see:

Which Mini is right for you?

We now have multiple Minis to choose from. Our most affordable version searches up to 50,000 documents for just $1,995, including all hardware, software, and a year of support. Additional versions search up to 300,000 documents. Since upgrading between versions is a snap, the Mini's the perfect solution for growing organizations.

Could it be a caching problem?
