Even though it is 20F outside, the black asphalt is absorbing energy from the sun and then transferring it to the snow. If you had a concrete driveway whith a high e factor, then your snow would not melt as quickly if at all. I know that the asphalt is under a layer of snow, but enough of the energy from the sun is passing through the snow to heat up the asphalt. You should be ice skating tomorrow down your driveway. Why did the price shoot up today? Was there one or a few big buyers? Can I go anywhere to see the size of the trades through out the day? If a few big players came in, the price will rise for the moment but will settle as us small timers move in and out. This is my prediction. SYSF will get system wizzard off the ground and all major manufacturers will have to employ the system to stay competative. Transmitting voice along with data on the same line will enable some pretty cool technical support. Intel has an inhouse system that allows someone else in the building to take your computer over and solve problems. You watch your pointer move around on the screen without you touching your mouse. I do not work for intel by the way. Consumer Reports had a few line blurb in favor of system wizzard about 6 months ago. The purpose of the article was to compare different computers. The only irritation that consumer reports had with system wizzard was that it went online to retrieve data for relatively simple problems that added some time, but was successful in trouble shooting. This is the way that technical support is moving. Take for example someone who is having problems with a part on a crane or a tractor wearing out too fast. You connect to the manufacturers web sight and hold the part in front of the camera on your monitor and speak to the rep all on one data line. This is possible today and many companies including John Deere are planning on using this technology very soon. It only makes complete sence that computer manufactures do somewhat the same thing using system wizzard. It looks like it will be a very good year. A system like this takes quite a while to get up and running so I believe that if system wizzard is successful, competition will take some time to catch up.
