I would love to do this, but I live in Quincy, WA and I only just now (4/21 at 7:10) saw this notice.
I wish could arrange to be there!
Will you be relisting this or is there something we can do through email or internet?

Think it’s more than a bit unfair this is limited to guys – from a gadget girl who works on video games for a living. :P

@Shivaun – since we are having a focus groups for moms on Friday on the same topic, we wanted to balance the genders in our overall quest for opinions.

I think it is interesting that you’ve scheduled the Gadget Guys for evening, but Moms for noon.
Moms work too you know.

What an INCREDIBLY condescending response. I’m going to pull my accounts away from this credit union. I printed this page out and I’m going to send it to each of the members of the board of directors along with my comments about Ms. Storm.

Mary – as a working mom, I often find it easier and better for my family to do something on my lunch hour than in the evening. I figured other moms would be the same. That is why I scheduled this at noon on a Friday.

Susan – I apologize. I did not mean to be condescending.

To be fair, you ought to include some older gadget folks as well. I am 60, have been working in the software biz for about 18 years and always read about the new stuff. I just don’t always buy it until the bugs have been worked out. I did adopt our online banking at the very beginning and have been using it consistently since then.

Steve – We held a focus group for folks over the age of 45 on Saturday.
