   upload /uhp'lohd/ v.   1. [techspeak] To transfer programs or
   data over a digital communications link from a smaller or peripheral
   `client' system to a larger or central `host' one.   A transfer in

   note about ground-to-space comm under that entry).   2. [jargon] To
   send data (especially large relatively standalone pieces of data
   like files and images) over the wire to a remote location.   3.
   [speculatively] To move the essential patterns and algorithms that
   make up one's mind from one's brain into a computer.   Those who are

   essence of the self view this prospect with pleasant anticipation.
