Re: Professionals
"That means if I want to repair my Surface I'd have to give up my Amateur status and lose my chance to compete in the Surface repairing Olympics?"
I wouldn't worry, professionals appear to have been allowed in the Olympics for quite a while now; without thinking of any upcoming major professional sporting events in particular, how about Andy Murray and Chris Froome?
And if some people believe bridge is a sport, then perhaps competitive laptop repairing has a chance of being an Olympic sport? Saying that, laptop repairing would quickly degenerate into a competition to build the best lightweight carbon fibre or titanium spudging tools. I'd rather watch competitive network cable untangling myself...
