Apple Inadvertently Reveals 17-Inch iMac?

An Apple educational newsletter for March 2009 apparently offers a 17-inch iMac starting at $899 as part of the company's new iMac Line. Currently, iMacs are only available in 20 inch and 24 inch sizes and the re-introduction of a 17" model leaves us scratching our heads. Once upon a time, there was a 17" white iMac, available to educational institutions for $899, that was phased out when Apple overhauled its iMac line in 2007. Is this a new aluminum 17" iMac that hits the low price point that educational institutions can afford or is it just a three year old advertisement that was inadvertently recycled with new pics?

UPDATE: Couple commenters and other people wrote in... this seems to simply be the older 17" aluminum iMacs that are discounted for educational institutions.
