Most common calculators in the forum?

Regarding SwissMicros I would really be curious to know how many units they actually manufacture (and sell). Hundreds per year? Thousands per year? I wouldn't be able to make a guess.

Personally I am not really interested in replica calculators although I think it is a good thing they exist. A bit like with paintings - nothing beats a real Van Gogh on your wall (as if I knew...) but a good copy is a hundred times better than no Van Gogh at all

NB: As another entry for the poll/statics I list the calculators lying around my table right now, mostly recent aquisitions, mainly from eBay (as there are very few other sources now):
- Ti SR56
- No name Chinese Memory card reader with integrated calculator (as I also like to collect calculators built into other, completely unrelated! things)
- Aristo Unilog
- Ti SR52 (just resurfaced under a heap of ViewMaster Reels which I also happen to collect)
- Ti 89 Titanium (complete with box and everything)
- Ti 83 plus
- Ti Nspire (first generation with those awkward minute alpha keys)
- HP25
- HP35s
- Sharp EL-W506
- Triumph Adler "Lady" (small stylish "ladies" calculator with green VFD display from the late 70ies)
- Elite 5001T
- Rockwell 24RD
- Adler 81S
- Ti BA III
- Privileg "mini-computer" (boxed, I think this one is really rare, the first and only one I have ever seen)
