It seems like Vespa’s 50th anniversary was just last month! Can you believe the ET-series is already ten years old? Coverage of the Italian festivities, with all the usual cliches, ran today on Times Online: “Cool at any age: The Vespa hits 60” Note: That’s 60 years old, not 60 mph.

40% are still made in Italy, eh? Wonder where the rest are.
Oh, and another thing — Bryan I hatehatehate that 2sb doesn’t open links in a new page. I’m constantly looking at stuff, closing it, and then remembering you’re one of maybe 2 sites in the world that don’t open a new page for links.
Just sayin’.
I’d agree with that link issue, Bb. I don’t know if I hate it, but it’s something I’ve thought of. Then again, I DO have a 2 button mouse that I just RIGHT CLICK and choose ‘open in new window’.
viva la 2sb
Brooke that mouse comment is so 2004!
I can change it, thanks very much for the suggestion!
Doing a little research about how to change this, and i’ve found it’s a big issue among web nerds. The “old way” to do it, which I used on the old site, has been depreciated, and on top of that, lots of web programmers think opening links in a new window is crass.
I think it does make sense for external links on a weblog to open in a new window (or tab) but I’m looking at the options available to make sure whatever I do is standards-compliant and doesn’t affect the usability of the site. In the meantime, as Brooke points out, there are a variety of mouse button/key combinations that allow you to control how a link opens. Thanks again for the input.
2004? I’m still stuck back in 1996.
