Well, people are different. Some might, some might not. Unless upload is 
forced, I don't really see the point of the question, since it will answer 
itself eventually.

My _personal_ opinion is that I would enjoy the living in the real world, 
seeing real, physical achievements, perhaps keeping in touch with 
non-uploaded people, helping move non-uploaded humanity forward etc.

When I'm "bored" with it, I can then either terminate myself, or upload 
myself to an semi-infinite and permanent happyland and live in my own 
creation endlessly stimulating my pleasure circuits. ;)

Jokes aside, I think it would probably feel more dignified to just 
terminate when I feel I'm done.
