Book tech support

I saw this hilarious video some years ago but didn't publish it at GUUUI since it was in Norwegian with Danish subtitles. But now it's here with English subs.

The video makes fun of newbie computer users by drawing analogies to the transition from scrolls to books some 500 years ago. In the video, a helpless monk gets tech support on his "malfunctioning" book.

Unfortunately, the YouTube video has been 'removed by the user'.

I found it elsewhere on YouTube. The link is now working again.
