Looks nice. The colour scheme seemed initially business-like, or something
I'd expect to see for a stock trading program perhaps. Nothing wrong with
it, just stating my thoughts of that "first 10 seconds" perception.

Also menus that completely dissapear like that can be hard to find. I was
looking for some button or such to make them come back. If you want to keep
the dissapearing behaviour I'd give a button or area that can be used as an
anchor. Something the user can see to interact with to get the menus back.
Having them dissapear was confusing until I figured out where to mouse to
get them back.

Also am glad I'm living now rather than then. Longer life expectancy is
always a good thing!
