Something that does suck about Steam is the fact that so many people that bought a legit copy of half-life/CS can't use their CD key, and they have to go through a ton of hassle (and possibly expense) or simply buy a new copy just to play. Thankfully I did not have that problem. For anyone with this problem, go to Wal-Mart, they have the original half-life for $14. Everywhere else is selling that platinum crap that is $49.99 because it comes with a couple mods that are freeware.

...you don't need to buy HL again to get on Steam.

Install HL, run it, enter your CD key. Download steam, run steam, convert your files to the steam cache. Boom, done.
