 * =====Opening several tabs in SAFARI: (much more difficult at first than Firefox, but easier to update once you've done it)=====
 * =====**Bookmark** all of the sites you want to open when you start a new window.=====
 * =====Then open a new tab and click on the little book icon in the upper left-hand corner underneath the back arrow.=====
 * =====Then, from the menu bar click on "Bookmarks" > "Add Bookmark Folder" and create a title you can remember.=====
 * =====Now drag all of the bookmarks into that folder.=====
 * =====Then go back up to the menu bar and click on "Safari" > "Preferences" and make sure the "general" tab is open.=====
 * =====For "New windows open with:" select "Choose tabs folder" and select the folder you created.=====
 * Now every time you open a new Safari window, all the pages in that bookmarks folder will open. It is easy to add or delete any bookmarks in that folder.
 * You can still have the "top sites" open in a new tab if you select that in the preferences menu.
 * =====Keep your computer organized and clean! Use a folder for each class and put everything relating to that class inside it. Use a separate folder(s) for personal stuff. The folders can be on your desktop or inside the documents folder, but either way ONLY folders should be in either of those places. No floating files.===== ||
