Looks pretty nice. Loads a little slow, but our connection at the office 
is crap. Transitions in that initial Flash movie on the home page appear 
to have a lag, but you may be using loadMovie() to bring in the pics 
(rather than having them in the file), and with my connection here that 
may just be load time. You might want to make that 'location' DHTML drop 
down menu swing left, rather than right like the others, so that the 
menu stays within your 'page'.
