I joined a set-top box startup in 2002 based in Palo Alto (Digeo) that ran out of the former Altavista offices - same building as PAIX. https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/02/11/paix-a-key-hub-from-alta-vista-to-facebook https://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2009/02/11/paix... I ran a build cluster in the server room in the basement where Altavista used to be located. The server room was actually pretty small - just a few rows of racks. We still had a sign in our office that said "Altavista Operations". It's pretty mindblowing just thinking how small internet-scale things were back then compared to now.
