Yup. First Steam account created 24th of December (guess why) 2007 for Orange Box.
Back then, it was possible to play Team Fortress 2 on one account on two PCs at the same time, but not on the same server. So my brother and I sat beside each other playing TF2 "together", but each on a different server.
We did this until we gathered enough money to buy a second copy of Team Fortress 2 in April of 2008. We were finally able to play both in the same match and it was glorious.
We both have and use these accounts to this day.
Wow, that sounds amazing able to play on two PCs with a single license. I didn't know this was possible. Also being able play against or together must have felt like heaven. :D Sounds like Steam was very worth it back then even.
