Andy,

Just remember, this critique is worth exactly what you paid for it ;-)

Win98, IE 4.x, 56K modem, plenty of colors, 1024x768 and other various
resolutions

HOMEPAGE:
I'm in the anti-splash page camp (even though the opening page of my site is
a semi-splash page).  I don't like getting a page that does nothing but send
me to another page to navigate the site.  Especially if I have no idea what
the site's about (and I don't).  That being said, I love the look.  At
640x480, there's about an inch of downward scroll.

HARBOUR:
Frames!  Ack!  I can't bookmark the individual pages of your site.  If I do
the right click > Create Shortcut thing, I lose your navigation.  If I click
on the Harbour logo in the navbar, I can't get back to your little
definitions page.

NAVBAR:
I think you have spaces in your navbar code after the Contact Us and In The
News graphics and before their closing </A> tags.

GENERAL:
I'm pretty dense, but I don't have a really good sense of what it is you
guys do after viewing your site, or how I pay you to do it for me.  I don't
think you get enough value from the framed design to bother using it.  I'd
go with a table (but then I'm horribly biased).  I think the background,
color scheme and overall look are great.

HTH -
