Call the Apple Store and Get Bill and Melinda Gates

Posted by pudge on from the dontcha-think dept.

oosid writes "The area code in Seattle is (206). Right across Lake Washington in Bellevue the area code is (425). If you're trying to reach the new Apple Store in Bellevue from Seattle, don't forget to dial the area code or you'll find yourself talking to the reception desk at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The 7 digit number, coincidentally, is the same for both places. If you make the mistake I'm sure that the Foundation will be able to suggest some solutions to all of your Apple problems."

      Right, I was wrong.

      The contact info isn't anywhere on the Gates Foundation page, but according to this page (206) 709-3100 is in fact a number for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

      Mods, feel free to mod my previous post down.
