    What's weird is that at the end of Part II, Neo was able to EMP the
    oncoming sentinels in the REAL world. How could this be? How could he have
    such extraordinary powers outside of the Matrix? Perhaps when he chose the
    left door in the architect's chambers, saved Trinity, etc, he never really
    left the matrix at all. In other words, perhaps the Architect has deceived
    him? We'll find out on Nov 5... and BTW, discussion of The Matrix is not off
    topic on alt.cellular.verizon because Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus use cell
    phones to contact the "operator" when they need an exit. They quite likely
    use Verizon because Cingular drops too many calls. The Agents probably use
    Cingular in their headsets though.

    Well, the planted mole is a question to address. If they are inside the
    Matrix still, why all the drama over this sneaky guy?

    It's a cop-out, but I tend to feel like Neo's telekinetic powers are just a
    lame departure from the semi-science we all want out of the movies. I HOPE
    there is some "reasonable" explanation, vs. "the one" just having magic
    powers (lame).

    OTOH, a computer-minded person would not buy the simplistic argument that
    the matrix could so easily and cleanly eliminate an "anomoly" within its
    software. Especially if we follow the pre-story about robots creating the
    matrix as a power source, and we essentially have this huge computer
    simulation being run by an independent set of beings on the outside. The
    Matrix is not their loyal slave, it's just a system on which they run a
    simulation, and thus they can't automatically be expected to have complete
    control.

    Why are all the "cool" Matrix phones never available in CDMA versions?
    Kinda kills the Verizon theory... I never saw a CDMA Nokia 7100-series phone!

    (Geez, and I thought I was a nerd having "serious" Star Trek TOS discussions
    in the 70's! You Matrix guys put us to shame!) ;-)

    Exactly. Expecting the user of a system to be omniscient and omnipotent is
    more ridiculous science fiction than a matrix of unconscious electricity
    drones.

    The Samsung n270 (?) phone was a Sprint phone. Or was that what you were
    trying to exclude when you specified the cool ones?

    Oooops. You got me. Different celular technologies in each film? I assume the
    Matrix takes place in a reality where WNP has already taken effect? ;-)
