New website - Opinions please

Looks pretty good! Easy to find your way around, seems to render quite quickly. Good professional feel. Not quite sure about the grey and blue backgrounds. [pedant]Couple of small errors in the "Welcome to ..." text: "worlds" is missing an apostrophe, and "BMS is the choice of" should be "BMS is the choice for" ... otherwise you're suggesting professional tools choose your products, which is not a nice way to describe your customers![/pedant]
Nice looking site, but i am guessing ATG is on broadband, not dial-up. It took a good 40 seconds (I timed it) to load here on ISDN, so would take even longer on analogue. Too long for a home page I would suggest - and don't believe all the bull about most people being on broadband, they aren't. Most people wont wait 30secs for a page to load, they will move on elsewhere.
The total page size for the home page is 317kb - I normally try to keep them below 100k for quick loading. This is just my opinion of course....
Whilst it looks pretty much identical in IE and Opera, in Firefox some white vertical lines appear between the pictures on the home page. Also the grey box around the text at the bottom of the home page does not appear in Firefox.
The downloads page, which looks fine in IE and Firefox, looks a mess in Opera. Also on the downloads page, the option to download Adobe Reader appears in IE but not in Firefox.
I note that the download location for Adobe reader is on your own servers. This means that you have to keep it up to date. Far better to link to the dedicated downlaod server at Adobe (as they encourage you to do) then your users will always have access to the latest version. Here is the link: www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
