Where's your Dock?

Apple's most recent Pro Tip teaches us how to move the Dock with a simple click and drag (here's the abbreviated version: shift click on the Dock dividing line and then drag the Dock to the left, right, or back to the bottom of the screen). I'm not sure how that qualifies as a Pro Tip, but I am sure it is news to some people.
It did get me thinking about where people keep their Docks. I'm a traditionalist myself, I never feel at home unless the Dock is at the bottom of my Mac's main display. Where do keep your Dock? Let us know in the comments.

D'OH! Make that on the RIGHT not LEFT (see previous) -- I just realized that I really don't know my right from my left =O
Old school NeXTStep style: Left pinned to the top (now if I could only pin the trash in the lower left corner).
No drives or volumes to the desktop -- in fact I keep the desktop free of icons usually.
Left-hand side of the screen. No auto-hiding.

That's how I've always had it, and it works for me.
Up until now I've just left mine at the bottom, but after reading this post and the comments I'm moving it to the right!!!
