Today I was stunned to realise that, even in the local IT group here, I am in the minority of people (i.e. I am the only one) that put the Windows Taskbar on the left side, instead of leave it at its default position, i.e. the bottom of the screen! 
What about you guys?

I do too. I started doing when I got my first dual-monitor setup.

I position it diagonally (Bottom Left to Top Right, obviously) using bricks under one side of the monitor.
It makes people less likely to use my computer.
Nah, it's at the bottom of my left-hand (Portrait) monitor. Left or right took up too much space with the original "Start" button.

I have mine in the default position at the bottom.
I have my left and right mouse buttons swapped though.

Did you forget the joke icon?!

Why?
About the position... I do too.
About the mouse buttons... if he is left-handed, makes sense.

Back in the day (long, long ago), I had 7 machines in my office (including a 286 - told you it was long ago.) I swapped left and right mouse buttons, 4 to left and 3 to right to try to avoid Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
But I never wave bye bye

Did it work?
I didn't know that would have impact in it.

For me it did. The inflammation in the wrist was less when I was not constantly clicking with the same hand.

Then yes, of course... I thought you were just switching fingers, not hands...

Standard position, dual monitor or not doesn't matter.
