I actually think the retro 80's theme is kinda cool...although I can see why others might not like it.
Anyhow, nice job...change is a good thing.
-edit-
Now that I've played around with it a bit, I like it even more...the
site feels "cleaner", and easier to operate. Seems to be more responsive
as well (although that could just be my new "T1" connection:-P).
