After getting up and running on Steam,
I noticed that my LAN activity LED is constantly on -
I know that the online gaming modules are getting updated,
but I'm starting to feel concern about having a "client"
running on my laptop that is constantly downloading stuff.
I don't really know about the integrity of the client software modules,
and what else it might be doing running around on my laptop.
Sure there are other programs that do a "live update"
like Anti-virus sigs, and financial portfolio info, etc -
but they start, download, end -
It seems that Steam is constantly doing something
and never stops - my LAN activity LED is flickering constantly
until I stop and logout of Steam - hence, my concern -
