Also, once you have connected to STEAM it may automatically start to update any games you have installed forcing you to wait for the update to complete! So if you are on a dial up it could take HOURS!!

I'm not sure if you can stop this automatic update via each games properties as you can only alter that once you have connected to STEAM, and I can't remember if the default setting is to automatically update or not?

I also think you must run each game at least once while connected to STEAM to enable offline mode.

Uhm, in the one and only (!) Half-Life 2 thread on this forum, it has been explicitly mentioned that you're not to talk about circumventing the Steam activation stuff here...
