I don't know when you left in 2000, but when we built out the Fawcett 
street place it wasn't by any standard the largest data center.  It was 
the order of 60 customer racks.  Mountain View was MUCH larger, it was 4 
10k sqft DCs.  And when I was working on opening Cambridge-2, Mid 2000, 
it was labeled temporary.

They only opened it because Cambridge-1 (cambma1, I think that is the 
code we used for it) was full.  Which I suspect is the one you are 
thinking of in 10 Moulton Street.  Not cambma2 which was in 70 
Fawcett.   I don't think we had provisioned any customers by the time I 
left into Cambma2.

I left in late 2000.   We where opening Mountain View, Cambridge2, and 
Chantilly durning mid 2000.   We had a new spec called 'Voyager' we 
where building to.
