Extended Stay America's state of the art: Win NT, IE 3.02 or higher

It’s time to hire some new software developers, folks!

I was checking out the Extended Stay America hotel in Bethpage, New York — it’s not far from BZ Media’s headquarters on Long Island. When going for a virtual room tour, I was stopped dead by the system requirements:

System Requirements for Surround Video:

For Windows: Surround Video is viewable on Win3.2, Win95, and WinNT and Internet Explorer 3.02 or higher. To download the latest version of Internet Explorer, go to: http://www.microsoft.com/ie/download/

For Macintosh: Surround Video is only supported on the Power Macintosh. There is no support for Mac 68000. Make sure you are using Internet Explorer version 3.02 or higher. To download the latest version of Internet Explorer, go to: http://www.microsoft.com/ie/download/

Needless to say, the room viewer doesn’t run on an Intel-based Mac under Snow Leopard. I guess nobody at Extended Stay America has looked at the company’s own website recently: Internet Explorer 3.02 came out in March 1997.
