Perhaps Dr. Backus might make a final post, but here is the most
recent in the month-long series of articles, posted on the finish
dated of the SETI Institute's Phoenix at Arecibo dated December 12,
2003 titled - Technology and Time - by Dr. Peter Backus, Observing
Programs Manager

http://www.seti.org/ao_11_03/

where he compares older SETI technology to the miniaturized new
systems.

And if you missed the long-running series of articles posted from
Arecibo, you can find them on a side-bar at the above link, they were
titled:

Once More into the Breach, The Penultimate Trip, Finding Radio
Frequency Interference, Signals and Noise, The Art of Packing Light,
Day and Night, Time To Move Up, Food Thoughts, Thanksgiving in
Arecibo, 2003, Patience, But is it Professional?, Life Without Lovell,
A Day Off, What a Difference a Week Makes!, The Birthday Present, The
Big Picture, A Common Cold in Uncommon Circumstances, Other
Intelligent Life… at the Observatory, AND Technology and Time.

I hope that somebody is archiving this stuff, it might make an
interesting book (Journals of the Intrepid SETI Scientists, B.E.T.
(before extra-terrestrials)

The historical significance would be priceless.
