I always thought that zeo was a virus. That the oracle was a competeing
matrix type computer competeing with the matrix. The second supercomputer
trying to destroy the first one by using a virus.
I tried to explain this to some friends after I watched it but they aren't
very bright. I came up with a couple really good story lines for the
sequels. I'll watch them but I bet I'll be disappointed.
