How big is your Steam folder? [Archive]

I was trying to figure out where all my hard drive space had gone (my primary computer is a laptop with a 60GB hard drive) and was surprised to find my Steam folder had grown to 21GB! I don't have that many games installed so I'm thinking about uninstalling Steam and starting over from scratch, but it got me wondering how big are most peoples Steam folders?

I don't have Steam or a Steam folder. Once I saw how pathetic HL2 was, Steam went bye-bye in a matter of minutes.

You sir, have a small winky based on your comments.
HL2 pwns so much, your deceased great grandmother has been considered pwned, including your cousins, aunts, uncles and pets.

In case anybody is interested I did end up starting Steam over from scratch.

I saved 634MB worth of screenshots and saved games (most of it's size is thanks to Defcon saving screenshots as Bitmaps :().

After installing CS:S, HL2, HL2:LC, HL:S, Gmod 10, Source SDK and effectively HL2-Deathmatch (it shares so many files with HL2) my Steam folder came to 7.5 GB. Much better than the 21GB I started with :D.
