I fail at making clicky...

clicking the big red button on that site downloads steam, then you can try to download portal. so many people are trying at once though so its is very slow

Are the Steam servers down at the moment, or does my Internet just suck? I can't log into my account.

Most of the reason mac gaming is inferior to PC is because apple wasn't offering much support in terms of development and distribution, but now that it has valve behind it its going to make some steps forward.

I agree that it will probably always be inferior to PC gaming, but it is closing the margin.
