Although using online tutorials does require access to the internet, printing them and reading them offline does not. Admittedly, saving .html pages and the associated image files is a PITA. However, many tuts have the [printer friendly] option. I usually save the printer friendly versions with the Mac "Save as PDF" feature, leaving me with a single self-contained doc of indefinite length. I don't know if thats a PC feature. The Dr Geep tutorials are quite explicit, and can also easily be saved for offline viewing. They are solely images, so there're no text formatting issues.
