Well, the opening page looks awesome. That's as far as I get without Flash
though.
Why am I a Windows user who doesn't have Flash? Three words my friend:
speed, Speed, and SPEED. Flash claims to be fast, but there's only one
thing on this earth that's faster than plain text, and that's gzipped plain
text. This is most apparent when using a dial-up connection like most
people I know are stuck with. Try your site that way.
In your case it's pretty excusable since it's hard to get that kind of
audience excited using plain text. You pretty much need graphics and
animation so your site looks a lot like TV. I just had to go on a tear
after reading the little "97%" poke on that first page. That was a little
much IMO.
