.... What was the time-frame for the books?

Early to mid nineties. The books' timeline concluded at 1997 except for the epilogue, which timeskipped a bit for the next generation.

That's why I said "modern computers".

Heh.  The OOTP panel is a lot like something I already have written:
Quote:"System.  'Long Distance'.  Play."
*Bloody bell in my head.  Must be Doug.*
*Hey, Sirius.*
*What do you know, I was right.  Hey, Doug!  Been a little while,
what brings you to call?*
*Harry's just gotten a vision from Lord Emo that you've been
kidnapped and are being held by his forces in the Ministry, of
all places, where of course they're torturing you for no apparentreason.  With suspiciously strong overtones of 'oooo you better
come and rescue him'.  So... how're things on that front?*
*Heh.  I *wish* I'd been kidnapped.  Anything that'd get me out
of this house would be welcome.*
*You *sure* you're not kidnapped?  Harry tried to Floo you and
got your elf, who said you were out.*
*Kreacher said that, did he?  I'm going to have to kill the
little bastard.  So... trap for Harry then?*
*Yeah, looks like.*
*Going to turn the tables on them?*
*It'd be a shame to waste intelligence like this.*
*You need the Order?  I'd *love* to get out of the house for anyreason, really.*

The only thing worse than an ambush going wrong; getting ambushed in the middle of your own ambush.
