Hi Jake:

It's a very fast loading, clean site.  On a 28.8 modem, it took me about 30
seconds to completely load.  The mouseover effects for the navbar are
tastefully done with no errors.

Suggestions for "improvement" are subjective, of course:

1.  When a visitor clicks on a new section from the navbar, have that
section remain "lit" (that is, when the new page loads, make the default
image the onmouseover "on" image) so that the user doesn't lose track of
which section they have browsed to within the site.  So if someone clicked
on "virtual reality," the virtual reality button would remain yellow until
the user goes to another section, and so on...

2.  Get rid of the solar flare effect.  It's fast becoming an Internet
cliche.  I'd try replacing it with some other personalized graphic of your
own creation.

Mike
