If you remember the movie "A Mighty Heart" - about the kidnap and murder of reporter Daniel Pearl in Pakistan - cell phones played a very big role in that film.
I'd expect that the 'modern' Magnum - and in my mind's eye he is 64, not 34 - would have to know about cell phones, laptops and the Internet, all of which add new depth to the stories. These very things are why Sue Grafton's gumshoe Kinsey Millhone is still in the 1980s, as they add new layers that Ms. Grafton did not want to deal with.
So I can see Thomas pecking away at a laptop...

Sometimes I get so lucky, even I don`t believe it.

I'm flogging another Magnum P.I. story and hope to have it posted on FanFiction in a few days - there I have set a goal! It is a sequel to "All These Years." Thomas will be dealing with cell phones, laptops, etc and other electronic ephemera of today.
The title is "Remembrance" and I was given a good nudge by Higgins in year 2, episode 14 "Computer Date" which I just watched today. It was very fortuitous.
