Most loopholes, whether intentional or not, allow for sneaking 
through the cracks of a law in certain circumstances, but I've never 
known a loophole to totally wipe out an industry, especially one such 
as computer repair which is growing while we're sitting here.

   And I'll repair my CoCo and other PCs, and my friends or family's 
computer anytime I feel like it.  :)  They'll come after me right 
after they come after those neighbors who have the year-round garage 
sale, or the people down the road who's dealing drugs out of their 
house all through the night, and right after they stop letting people 
drive down the emergency lane at 60mph and cut you off while you're 
about to make a right turn... when THAT becomes illegal like it 
should be, I'll trust Texas law.  However, EVERYBODY's doing it, so 
the public wins and the law loses.  *IN FACT* the emergency lanes in 
Texas keep getting 6 inches wider every year or two and now appear to 
be turning lanes (even when the real turning lane is clearly marked 
just to the left of the emergency lane), but you can't tell that to a 
million alcoholics and weed smokers, hell no...  just keep your 
seatbelt on and your kids on the left side of the car and maybe, just 
maybe.... your day will go without being airlifted to a hospital, 
while the guy who cut you off (sometimes driving an 18-wheeler, mind 
you), keeps on driving by smiling.
