There should be a word for the half second of pleasant but utter shock produced by attempting a complicated task in Windows, certain in the knowledge that it would fail horribly, only to see it work first time.

A case in point: resigned to total data loss and a few hours of re-synchronising, I connected my truly ancient MP3 player (dented, held together with sticky tape and the laughing stock of our iPod-toting art staff) to Windows Media Player 11 and tried to copy across a few new albums. The result: albums copied, nothing destroyed, jaw on desk.

I vote for Serwindipity. Anyone else?
