What ever happened to the $5000 model?

[celerityfm]

I know at some point Google redid their Search Appliance lineup- with the new model numbers and such-- but what ever happened to the $5000 model? Now its $25k and up..

GoogleGuy, anyone? Is the $5000 model still available and they just aren't saying anything about it or is the $25k model really the $5k model after they realized their pricing structure was a bit off :).

(edit)Or did I just make up the whole $5000 thing!?(/edit)

I think you might be confused on the pricing. the lowest price I've ever heard for a Google box (the 1001 model) was in the 25-30k range.

The newest offering is the 5005. (maybe that is where you got the 5000 from) But it is far more than 5k.

I knew I made it up :(

[slashdot.org...] settles it- posted before GSA was even announced.

Silly me. :)
