I am soooo impressed with Steam re: preordered DoD

So I decided to bite the bullet and preorder DoD:S.  I already have it
precached (or whatever they call it) on my system, but I wasn't going
to be able to play it anyway.

So I go to purchase it through Steam, everything is going well.  I
enter my name, credit card, etc. It gets to the very end and it hangs
up on a status bar for awhile and then Steam pops up about 10 of the
same window and then crashes from a memory access violation!

How can Valve be so retarded?  I was trying to give them money and
somehow they get a memory access violation error submitting my credit
card data to their server?  You'd think that would be the most robust
part of their program.

to all your mates in the bar. If you have any...

Oh dear, we seem to have upset a top posting Steam fanboy.

Shouldn't that be "fanboi"?
