For the good of everyone (except the ones who are dead)...

[ffutures]

Copied from karohemd, who suggests waiting a day or two for the rush to die down a little since downloads are VERY slow:

Valve are giving away Portal free until the 25th, and there's now a Mac version as well as the PC one

Yet another thing to slow down my writing...

later or possibly not - doesn't seem to want to work. Asked me to update my video driver, but even after I did it says that I need an updated driver, and stops after loading the Valve ID screen. This PC is fairly elderly but seems to exceed the minimum specs, not sure why it won't run. My other one doesn't have enough RAM, so I suspect that is it for now.

I've just grabbed it and it wasn't ridiculously slow

I got it yesterday night and it was very speedy.

It actually sped up considerably around midnight and I had a quick wander around (and getting lost) before bed.
