Steve,

well it loads fast on my old clunking connection so that's a serious plus. :)

I like the logo on the upper left, though those circles that pan in and out under it in the main page are a little over bearing. The areas come up fast (don't you hate those long winded transitions?).

Hmm.. overall it's a little plain though. Maybe something to break up the black and blue. A different color (maybe grey) for the text areas? Some more animation stuff for the logos and surrounding areas (subtle is the key of course). In all, it's sort of a case for using html rather than flash. To make it worth it Flash has to be pretty interesting to hold my attention. I'm far more critical of a flash site than a html one when I see one, as in most cases it would have been better off staying away from Macromedia products :)

A case in point is my own site. I just installed a flash 'bit' on the index page but am seriously thinking of tossing it as I'm finding better uses for the real estate there. Maybe a html page with a flash 'presentation' option.

Umm, did that help at all? (it's 4am here sooo..) :)

excellent use of design.
excellent contrast of dark blue and white.
extreme simplicity of navigation!

overall an 9 out of 10!

all of this adds up to sucess :)

(glad you had an html version too.)
