I've upgrade many times from processors to hotel rooms and never wanted to go back.

But the best of all time was from black and white telly to a colour one.
Dial phones to push button comes around fifth.

B&W to colour most definately, followed by Sega Megadrive to PS1, VCR to DVD and horrible Argos sofa's to spangly new 3 piece leather suite .. actually .. that should come first.

monochrome to colour on film & Tv was pretty awesome at the time.

Similarly computer graphics have improved drastically from monochrome CLI displays through CGA, EGA, VGA & beyond.

but the upgrade that is 'best' for me, nostalgia wise, was when I upgraded from a ZX81 to a Spectrum 48K 'Plus' - which then had added a Multiface, Multiprint, Interface 1, 2 Microdrives & a Joystick.:p

No contest for me.

The upgrade to father with the birth of my son and daughter has to be the best up-grade I ever made.

They don't come with a warrantee but are guaranteed to provide a lifetime of joy. Only slight problem is they don't come with a manual. LOL :)

for me it would be either, from Sega master system to PSX or from Walking to MotorBike.

The bike would have to be the best but I was amazed by the improvement of the PSX over the master system at the time, I had gone from an extremeley dated console to te best money could buy the year the PSX came out.

Think my next best upgrade will be going from Bike to Car but that has yet to come :)

another one where I can't rep you until I spread it:)

- by which I mean, I know what you mean, partly, as we have 'only' the 20 year old son.;)

- the next anticipated upgrade to him is 'Leaving Home' - coming soon:D

Motorbiking to Car can be a downgrade, match the bike to the conditions - I am thinking a 125/250/450 'Trials' type motorbike can be much more exiting to drive, than a car?
