Your scenario is entirely plausible Ben.

My notion was that an upload might long for new such experiences.  But your scenario is to intentionally erase the memory of such an event and play it back again.

Another way to go with it: suppose an upload wishes to experience the span of human meat existence.  That could be done, with extensive file sharing, analogous to trying to play every video game ever written or read every book in the library.  Still one might wish to go to the local bookstore, even if one has not read every book in one's own home.

Tara, may you, and all present have many experiences like my Berkeley mariachi day.
