why? its just a domain extension, you can view it just like the common domain extensions. Honestly i would just keep it, especially since you already have it registered.

Now for the site, it looks pretty good. the only real problems is see with it is the colors are all pretty close to each other so they don't contrast. Its a little hard read because when you first look at it you don't get a sence of content-navigation contrast. I suggest using darker colors for your different layout schemes.

Also there is a lot of div layout inconsistencies, like your intro splash page is aligned to the right and your banner on the main page is set to left. You probably don't notice it because you have a smaller resolution then some of us, you wouldn't notice this error on a 1024x768 resolution but i do on my 1680x1050. There are many of these type of inconsistencies through out the site. I would suggest setting all the css styles to something like...
Code:
position:absolute;
margin-left:-450px;
left:50%;
width:900px;
the width would obviously be what ever the width for that div tag is, also the margin-left is just half the width but negative. This will set it to exactly center on the screen.

I also would suggest going more conventional with your navigation, you have 2 main navigation bars and they are a little hard to follow. I would suggest using either or, for this template might be best to just use the left navbar instead

Also it might be better to have your banner that's on the main page be on the front splash page and then become static [ie not flash] on the main page, that way it wont replay on each page.

That's about all i see for the moment.
