I imagine that people in 1995 Collinsport had bigger concerns on their minds than micro-managing other people's wardrobes.  Besides, wasn't it somewhere around there in the 90s that a sort of electric sickly green came back?  It was just one year I think.    Anyway, I was struck by how they pulled off 1995 by being conservative about it all, just at the point when things were changing so fast that all predictions about the future were extreme. 

The only concession to a science-fiction-y future or new technology was during the closing credits once, where some strange-looking electronic device, maybe a clock, was shown close up.

Weren't there still plenty of physical files twelve years ago?

OMG! You should see the office I work in. There are 4 monstrous filing cabinets in the office itself, not including desk drawers (1 metal monstrosity I'm pretty sure dates back to before 1970), and another 2 out in the Visitor Center Lobby. In fact Monday at work I spent all afternoon boxing up the filing records from 2005 and making space for the filing folders of 2007!

Egad arashi... I guess that would be a "yes"... that's reassuring to me, in a way.    Not to you, obviously.     Any paper cuts?

Many! It's an occupational hazard.
