Adjusting to new UIs

Mark Asdoorian, a friend and colleague for many years, sent me this amusing link about medieval monks getting used to the new-fangled printed book with these comments: "Great bit about how adopting a new UI can always be confusing to some users.  Gotta have quick eyes to read the translation."

If you've ever helped users (or parents) through a new UI, this will seem very familiar!

Thanks for the pointer Bruce, it was brilliant. It is particularly relevant as I struggle to find the print button in office 2007 (which I am liking a lot more, especially the data visualization features in Excel).
