Valve STEAM released
http://www.steampowered.com/
So I'm assuming folks will be happy to get CS 1.6, not to mention Valve is saying they will release some HL2 footage or something through it soon.
anyhow, something of more interest is you can download games and so forth from them off Valve... an official download of expansions such as Blue shift, opposing forces, etc. so if you don't have those, this would be a good way to get them off their site.

I happened to download the original Half-Life from this yesterday. I figured I would definately have to enter a CD-Key or something before I could play it, but that wasn't the case.

Cool. I've been using it for quite some time as well. I find cs 1.6 to be the best of many releases. I enjoy it more than 1.5 at least.
I hope we get the option of downloading HL2 through steam for a discounted price. I heard that it's proposed, and that that's the whole point of steam, but who knows if it will come at a discounted price or not (say 29.99 without a manual or CD.)

All I ever bought was the original HL. Is there an patch that will give me the updated character models or do I need to purchase one of the later games (like Blue Shift or Opposing Force)?

they released some HL2 footage today. pretty much a high quality shot of part of the footage shown at E3. I would have hoped for new footage, but oh well.
