Call the Apple Store and Get Bill and Melinda Gates

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."

Please don't harass the Gates Foundation. by Anonymous Coward · 2003-05-26 10:09 · Score: 5, Insightful

Just because it's funded by Bill G doesn't mean that the people working there deserve to get a phone call from you inquiring about Apple products.

They're a charitable organisation for crying out loud. It's not much different from harassing the local hospital - the less time and money they waste, the better.
