Call the Apple Store and Get Bill and Melinda Gates

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."

Re:Is there a number I'm missing?

Most businesses have more than one phone number, and they are usually close together, so it is fairly likely that the apple store will have more than just the one 3100 number, and the Gates foundation lists a few numbers on their contact page.

Thus it isn't that hard to believe that the two businesses would have the same last 4 digits.

They let you buy anything

Sorry to break it to you, but the B&M Gates Foundation will let you buy any hardware / software you want. They're really not interested in MS at all. I went to a school that received a nice large grant from them and all the Mac heads (me included) were worried when the grant went through that our G4s were gonna disappear. We ended up getting 4 more. (We had 250 PCs and 3 Macs. 4 more was a big deal). Right now I'm typing this on G4 that was purchased using my paycheck from this school (summer work) that was funded by billy boy. So if you think about it my G4 was bought using money from the profits of Windows. Kinda funny.
