Nah, I can only connect half the time. And the installation process is buggy. Editing support if iffy too, ironic.

My Steam was running well enough for me, until suddenly the "Half Life Launcher" fails everytime I try to play TFC! :(

The reason why I hated steam was that somehow someone stole my cd key, and registered it. The second reason, no LAN.

Jan 16 2004 Anchor

ok, so it seems I have to get someone to burn it for me then.

seems stupid that it's way too huge to d/l on 56k, but you can still actually play it on 56k, I have to commend valve on that one.

Yeah I was d/l Steam on my 56k and apparently there is a set number of hours your computer can be on the internet when tying up a phone line... because my computer dosent allow calls to come through. and I left it on for like 37 hours and it was like 84 percent complete and it booted me offline :( but my dsl comp d/led it in like an hour :)
