I've had my copy reserved at Gamestop for several months now, I can't wait. When I obtain that game, I will no longer need contact from the human, nor online world, Gordon will become my only friend, and the crowbar my instrument of destruction.
LOOK OUT HEADCRABS
I almost wish I didn't have that retail box set reserved, I really want to play CS:S tomarrow.

Yeah.. There really isn't any excuse not to have a CD burner these days (If you happen to have a computer capable of running HL2, that is. An older computer would be understandable) I mean, its not like they are too expensive, you can find some for as low as $25... and then tend to pay off considering all the great things you can put on CDs (GCF files, backups of things that would never fit on a floppy, MP3s, Pr0n, other stuff...)

Maybe if you set Steam to Offline Mode and copied the entire folder to the other computer, it would work for a while.
I don't know what you guys are worried about with buying over Steam. Need I remind you that even with Retail HL2, you will still have to tie your CD Key to your Steam account, just like HL1? If you somehow lose your account or password or whatever then your copy is going to be useless anyway. If you want to save yourself the download time, then you can burn the .gcfs to CD. Owning a retail copy is no safer than a digital copy.
People really want tangible stuff for some reason. It's like a disorder where if they can't grasp the game box in their chubby little hands, it's like they don't own it and it can vanish with a flash. They need something to wave around and say "I bought it I bought it!"
