I try to work with data from 1999 (and now 2000) - like broadband rates, etc. - that are available online. Sometimes it's tricky to verify whether or not a specific building, street or service was available at the time of the fic.
A few locations are fictitious of course -- for example Seishiro's house, the office building of the Mori, the Campus, the Sumeragi estate, and the hotel I'm going to use in chapter 16 -- mostly to accommodate canon or a necessity for the plot, but most of the time I stay with things that exist at the time the plot takes place.
Hence the non-GUI-system on the Clamp Campus library computers in the teenager!Seishiro chapters of 36° or the time Subaru needs to reach Kyoto by Shinkansen (Today's service is about 30 minutes faster than the Hikari that was the fastest in 1991).

But I write fiction not description, so if I'm unable to find information - or the plot absolutely requires something - I have no qualms to make things up. :)
