lol.. I understand that.. however, I'm sure you will have plenty of time
to download it :) unless you're on a Jethro-class 24.6 connection, it
shouldnt take over a month to download :) ... i'm pretty sure there'll
be a pre-order option on steam eventually ... but patience is a virtue :)

slow down... too much data. :-(
Just found out my parents got DSL hookup and a digital camera. Now the fun starts
"Dad, don't send me those 2 meg pictures... it takes me 20 minutes to download them!!!"
