(If I remember correctly, it's 1992 when it starts, and Usagi is in her second year of junior high. She starts her first year of high school in the final story arc, which would make it 1994.)
While true, it does not matter all that much... neither show touched upon many known events or were truly all that time oriented locking either to that period except a handful of details... most objects that change with the times either have not changed that much yet or were not shown in detail... not a ton of cars for example, and of those shown, not specific enough to truly peg a model.
Probably the biggest change is more modern societies love and absolute dependance and inability to function without what I consider unneeded useless handheld gadgets, like cell phones, day planners, netbooks, media players, etc... though laptops existed.
I will note the Mercury computer looks close enough between a cross of a modern netbook and a old PocketPC Pro/Windows CE subnotebook it likely would fit the category, it probably drew more stares back then than it would now. And their communicators would be better disguised as pink cellphones and fit in perfect.
Finding one that would survive a day with ranma I image would really be quite a streach, though I amuse myself if he kept a cell in stuff space it would likely never recieve a call.
I'd go into that more, but there is already a somewhat recent thread specifically on cellphones.
