- What's the score with Apple Help? Is there a self-contained Help function on the new iMacs, so that one can figure out how to configure it and manipulate/navigate it without having to go online?

And what about the Apple Help issue?

I disconnected from the internet and tested the menu bar option for Help in these applications:
  • Mail
  • Address Book
  • iPhoto
  • iTunes
  • Preview
  • iCal
  • Activity Monitor
  • System Preferences
  • Disk Utility
  • Grab
  • Dictionary
  • Calculator
  • Pages
  • Numbers
  • Keynote

In all instances, Help topics were available. However, some tutorials and video tutorials were unavailable because the application was unable to locate the required pages online.

I am not sure this reply addresses your concerns on configuring, manipulating, and navigating a new Macintosh without having to go online, but just in case.

Back up everything you can't afford to lose: documents, mail, movies, music, photos, and other data and settings.
