Managing a property for a bunch of Old-Old fashion folks

Hey guys, I have a fourplex I own in Dime Box Texas (yes, this name is correct, about 1 hr east of Austin TX). I like the property, it is built solid, and the numbers are good. The tenants are also good, no major issues... other than the are all OLD and basically don't know what the internet is. I love using apartments.com (I have used a few other rent collection systems in the past). They make collecting rent and managing a property easy. These tenants not only don't do this, they are adverse to it. They send me a cashiers check every month, often with a hand written note about the properties condition. Yes, it is a nice touch, but come-on... I'm a busy guy. Can't we move this a little more towards tech? Any thoughts?
