I need a word for that feeling of pleasure when somebody recommends a book for my kindle and I discover I've already got it but had forgotten.

What words do you need that don't exist?

The thing on a screen that whirls round whilst waiting for something to load on a computer
It's not a cursor I don't think
A bit like the whirly thing at top of page when waiting for MN threads to load
