...nix that apostrophe.
...and you thought we just pestered you about spelling!
...plurals never use an apostrophe before the "s," even with abbreviations and trademarks.

Also...
Use "its" for plural (On its website...), and it's as a contraction for it is. (it's unusual for BB to list HS items...)

ITYM 'possessive' there instead of "plural" [although plural does apply as well, just not to your example (unless you were talking about a website about 'its', but then that'd have been 'On the its website')]. "Sire, the pedants are revolting!"

Ah yes, you are correct. I think I got caught up thinking of an example to use and forgot the correct usage!

Not only is the Treo at a great price but in the Baltimore MD flyer, if you by the Neo for $169, you get a free $75 gift card to be used at Best Buy. My son did it and got a great deal
Best Buy and Handspring
