Reaper says 104, but that's just on my one month-old laptop and doesn't include time in Reason :P I started in January of this year, so I'd estimate just over 400 :P

Dude, I wish Fl Studio had an hour counter. Let's see, since 1999... its been a few... And that's just in fruity, never mind logic and reason. That doesn't include the years before in early digital and late analog...

It's a lot of hours. The worst part is I'm still such a marginal technical producer. :x

I think this is a difficult question for most producers. I've got projects that exceed 50 hours of production time, and then I have some that barely break 5. I've gone through 3 computers since I started, and FL doesn't have a time counter so I can't even count how many hours I've spent on it with this computer alone. There's also the times where I've tried other DAWs and spent quite a few hours just trying to wrap my head around them before realizing there's really no reason to change anyway.

Going through my FL projects I have on this computer, I've tallied up 637 hours. I have another folder full of projects on an external, and quite a few that i've just deleted or lost during transfers from one place to another. There's also the countless times where I've loaded up fl, messed around for a few hours and just deleted everything. If I had to, I would estimate being somewhere between 1500-1800 hours.
