Was using #1, but end up using #2 on exam day and it’s really comfortable compared to #1 IMO

I’m glad you asked; a young man from India going by the name Ananda gave it to when he upgraded to a TI BAII Plus from a place in Delhi. He was fortunate enough to only pay 3,600 INR /- with bill for it and in a grand gesture of generosity he passed along his well used abacus. I unfortunately am not able to provide any pricing information as the abacus market has largely moved underground.

I’m a traditionalist, #3. Although I guess if I were a true traditionalist, I would use little piles of pebbles for the hard stuff and my fingers and toes for the basic stuff. BTW, you can get an abacus on ChinaSprout.com for $5.95.
