Oh, don't worry, I do have a two buttoned mouse, I would never have one buttoned.go out and buy a real mouse
It just cannot believe that statement. Mac's have had two buttoned mouses for years.
just played a few levels of portal. anybody else noticing a jumpy field of view on it as they move? i'm on a 3.06 24" imac with an ATI radeon hd 2600 pro and the mighty mouse
*sigh*
When I click on "Login to an Existing Account", I get:
"Unable to connect to the Steam network. 'Offline Mode' is unavailable because there is no Steam login information stored on this computer.
You will not be able to use Steam until you can..."
What ports does this thing need access to in order to work?
Edit: Nev mind! Google is my friend. http://www.resoo.org/docs/counterstrike/steam_ports.html

Free until 24th of may, then you have to decide if you are going to buy it or not.
Thats more than enough time to play it to death and get the chevos
That servers are too busy message didn't come up when I tried it for at least the 10th time. Persistence pays off
I wish the download would hurry up though. Time remaining: 2 hours 7 minutes at approx 150kbps.

Just give it some time. This is a long time in coming for the Mac platform. We just took a huge step. This is a massive transition for both the Mac platform and the industry. Things will only get better.
Do you have a fat32 windows partition (so mac can see it ) ?
because i found that you have to
a)trash the windows steam files
b)hide the windows steam files
which i dont know how to do if you have steam installed on crossover, thatll also mess with mac steam
True, I agree! But if you want to play it somewhere in the future (for fun and giggles) you have to buy it for almost 30 euro's (not sure in dollars). That's a bit much, I'm going to have to wait for a discount then.
They have to say it because it means a *real* two button mouse. Try playing an FPS with a Magic Mouse... you can't hold down right click and then do a left click at the same time... same thing with the old puck mouse. They do NOT work like regular two button mice which is why that statement is needed.
Copying from Windows work!
IT WORKS IT WORKS! Save yourself some download time if you already have Portal installed on a Boot Camp partition.
I copied the following files from my Windows 7 install:
portal content.gcf
portal english.gcf
source 2007 shared materials.gcf
source 2007 shared models.gcf
source 2007 shared sounds.gcf
source materials.gcf
source models.gcf
source sounds.gcf
Total size 4.71 GB
This left me with only:
source 2007 mac binaries.gcf (128.6 MB)
that I had to download. So about 3 minutes to copy and another 2 to download and Portal fires up just fine. I even ran the "Verify Integrity of Game Cache" option and it reports everything is 100%.

I just installed and registered to Steam... but for some reason it is saying server is down... I can't log in!!!
Anyone else having the same problem??
Edit: Alright nvm... I can get to the log in screen now!!! I am very excited!!!
Edit 2: Wow... Can not log in to Steam server... weird....

Yeah, good point actually. I cant stand the Magic/Mighty Mouse.
I just think it's common sense though, and there is no need to actually say anything about it. Like when your milk carton says "WARNING: This product contains milk" on it.
Mine did the same thing but it also placed Portal in my library and I was able to start the download from there.
I just logged in 2 seconds ago and this was the first thing I noticed. They might be in the process of making it SteamPlay compatible.
ooooooo
Downloaded and installed fine, crashed once when viewing videos/screenshots of a game. Just bought Torchlight but my download speed is between 0 and 50kpbs =.=, I assume that's due to a lot of people trying to download it. However Portal downloaded at 5mpbs :S
