Rick,

1) I think that's fixed.

2) I kinda like the idea of a simple tool that would tell them if the
problem is on their end and not on valves, something simple that would
show if they are actually connecting to the steam servers, and maybe an
error msg with possible causes and links to help. Would make it friendly
for newer and non-technically-inclined players.

LOL, funny man Alfred!!

I noticed 2 things last night:
1. Each line in the games list has a little square box next to it. Obviously
something is on the trailing end of the row that is not being parsed
correctly (line feed, carriage return or the like).
2. When using tools, internet tab: I saw a message that I was not connected
to an authentication server (or something along that line), but no other
help is available except for the Steam Online Networking help. It would be
nice if more is offered to supplement this, like a button to poll an
authentication server, or a quick diagnostic utility specifically designed
for steam to try and check network connectivity issues addressed in the
Steam Help sections.

For those that do not have the skill or understanding of potential problems,
this would be both very informative, and also a good learning tool.

Just a thought and IMHO!

Overall, a very nice utility. Visually and aesthetically pleasing. Nice job
to all at VALVe!!
