This is why I asked, yours/our feedback about the beta _is important_. I'm be fairly sure the guys at valve do pay attention to us =D I'm still waiting for the steam client to update itself so I can play on the beta server I'm running =( My Internet connection from home isn't the best... might bring my machine to work and hurry it up a little =P Sux when ya setup a server and aren't the first person to play on it =) -- James. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
