in other words, the verb "to be" is used in the plural form "are", which implies the model number "HD 600" is a plural noun. i am not denying anymore that "hd 600" is a plural noun, but that for consistancy sake and clarity we should drop the "s".
remember, not all plural nouns have to have an "s" at the end: "sheep", "geese", etc.

as macdef and i have been saying, the model number is written without any added s or 's, but with the implied plural in the verb. |
