SDk update is coming soon - Valve have mentioned it a couple of times recently.

I'd like to believe, but "soon" in Valve terms might still take six months up to a year

Just hope that Steam will satisfy us and won't make the same mistake again on crashes on CS:S but thankfully it's been fixed.

I agree. I should thank Valve that they had provide us with a Source SDK so we can make our own Source-engine game.

I agree with you there. I love the sweet Source SDK, not to mention Maya models and XSI model making.
