Somewhere, somehow, sometime, I found a script for the Matrix. It has been sitting in my Junk drive for DOUG-knows how long, and I finally dug it out the other day, in serious procrastination (yes, serious, I changed my desktop again) and had a flip. To my amazement, it was not the finished version of the movie, but rather maybe a draft or two prior to the movie one. It contains numerous interesting differences. Such as the following:

We are on-line, inside a chat room called "The Matrix." It is an exklusive web-site where hackers hang out.
SCREEN
JACKON: I heard Morpheus has been on this board.
SUPERASTIC: Morpheus doesn't even exist and the Matrix is nothing but an advertising gimmick 4 a new game.
TIMAXE: All I want to know is Trinity really a girl?
LODIII: 87% of all women on line are really men.
QUARK: The Matrix is a euphemism for the government.
SUPERASTIC: No, The Matrix is the system controlling our lives.
TIMAXE: You mean MTV.
SUPERASTIC: I mean Sega.
FOS4: ALL HAIL SEGA!!!

Well, it made me laugh...

Incidentally, after some hunting I found where I got the script from: The Cyberpunk Project. Check this place out. It's seriously spectacular. It's got the entire works of William Gibson for starters. If you really want to see what Trinity could have been like, get a load of Molly in Neuromancer. Wow. This place is amazing.
