does anyone know how to open a link in it own window, i had multiple windows open one time but i forgot how i did it.

also how can i organize my favorates?

To open a link in a new tab, hold down the 'Command' button while you click the link. If you specifically want it in a new window, I'm not sure of the hotkey, but you can drag it off from Safari's tab bar and it'll open in a new window at that point. Alternately, you can do both options with the 2-finger click (if you have the touchpad set up for it) or you can hold down the "Control" button when you click. They'll bring up the "right click" menu, and the options are in there.

For favorites, the easiest way is to click the button that looks like an open book (top left corner, should be right under the "Forward" button.

Yep. It's just that in their desire to streamline the Mac experience, Apple does tend to hide stuff in hard-to-notice places sometimes...

To add a bookmarks folder, the hotkey is Shift+Command+N, or at the very bottom, click the little plus ( "+" ) button (the one on the right). Or, just go to the "Bookmarks" menu at the top, and select "Add Bookmark Folder". It'll appear in the left column, then you can rename it, drag/drop bookmarks into it, or drag/drop the folder itself into (for example) the Bookmarks Bar (which will display it at all times just below the address bar.

THANK YOU, getting my favs setup and REALLY liking the machine, i was having reservations about it when it was en-route but everything seems to be pretty straight forward so far.

Don't know how long you've had your new Macbook, but I relate it to learning a new language (although not as complicated). It's basically the same thing but things and actions are done slightly differently. Be patient and in a week or two it will be all old hat.

Are you serious?

Nope. You should enjoy your purchase and start a savings account for several years down the road when you need a replacement.
