A reasonable statement, to be sure.

...for some degree of "perfect." Your menus are not accessible to
those visitors who do not have JavaScript available, or enabled. Like
the Googlebot.
For visitors who can see your menu, there is no indication for which
pages have been visited. Use CSS to change color for visited links.
For pages requiring any scrolling, your Aquiva graphic (which remains
stationary) covers the text.

Let the whole page scroll. Your logo is not nearly as important as
your content. What will you do for visitors who do not have PDF
readers, or who do not want to go through the several extra steps to
read it?
Stick with plain text content.

Some browsers do not respect absolute position, so you should rethink
the use of it.
Please check with http://validator.w3.org/ as well.
Oh, "We cover what you cant" needs an apostrophe. <g>
