I think I'll give up saying it after this. No font colour specified....
It may seem trivial, but it isn't valid markup without it. Set your default
font to neon pink and something ghastly like Lucida typewriter, and you will
be amazed how many sites are not properly specified - for the sake of a
couple of lines in a css file.
No meta tags, but if you're not bothered about the search engines that's up
to you.
The navigation is inconsistent/non existant. You should have every main page
accessible from every other - the little forward and back arrows are counter
intuitive (forward to what?) and introduce an extra click and visit to the
Screen2 page to get where you want.
There are no alt or title tags on your thumbnails, so I get no indication as
to whether any of them are "similar to what you may need in the near
future."
Unneccessary horiz scrolls on the popups at 800x600.
Other than that, I quite like it ;-)

HTH, Paul.
