As for offline mode, if you have been online before with it. You should be able to go offline. In fact, all you need to do is have NO internet connection.

Let's talk here, because it seems that there is no other "official" place where we can talk about that." www.steampowered.com "Packaging is poor - discs are in envelopes, they are just useless without Steam and there is even no manual!!! What a shame." Vivendi's area of concern not valve. "Why they had to make retail version to work only with Steam? If people buy retail it means that they do not want any online activations and all." Windows XP and countless other programs you buy retail and have to activate it. "Steam just refused to work offline," See that's funny because every PC I have tried to get steam to run in offline mode has worked. It's usually the fault of something on the users part when offline does not work. Please take this ranting off this mailing list and on to www.steampowered.com the steam team does not frequent this mailing list so there is exactly 0 point in ranting here. And for original poster, steam is currently using 0 CPU and 2 megs of ram, it's not just a gui steam acts as an interface for a virtual filesystem aswell.
