     Actually, I read a scary-as-hell Ranma fanfic entitled "Communication 
Break-Down" wherein most of the cast had computers and internet access...it 
was done pretty well, actually. If you suspend the canon-fact that R1/2 is 
technically pre-'net, it could be done well..."Communication" proved it to 
me, anyway...
