Why is MLS Long Island (MLSli) limiting access to its Stratus database to just Internet Explorer browser? The “forces that be” are alienating many subscribers that use Apple Macintosh computers. Why do important segments of the real estate industry still refuse to upgrade their technology? Every visit to the site is a reminder of the refusal to update current technology. It’s antiquated, like going back in a time machine 10 years! Is this what happens when a monopolistic organization has a corner on the market for Realtors, but little interest in the future of internet marketing which impacts MY BOTTOM LINE?
My blood pressure just skyrockets each time I log into Stratus!

Right on Sean Stark. This is an important issue that is being totally ignored. I’m a Realtor in Ulster County and we face the same issue with our Paragon 4 System. I called tech support and inquired about support for the Mac, they said they are looking into supporting Mac, but it’s a long way off.
Why wait? The Mac is the ultimate platform for marketing. We need these MLS systems to support Macs NOW!!!

Matt,
I don’t know what you pay up in Ulster County, New York, for MLS with Paragon 4 System. My monthly bill for MLS Participation is $160! For that kind of money, I should be more than able to use the system with Firefox or Safari on my Mac. And have it more updated for ease and speed of use than it is now. Other 3rd. party sites that I use are rockin’ for the web 2.0 / Mac user and they charge a hell of a lot less!! My theory is that the local boards do not want to spend the money. (Period)
Thanks Matt!
