There is one consideration to this that did not occur to me at first, but may be worth mentioning for anyone tempted to follow my example (it means I can be highly individual and have my taskbar in THE MIDDLE and neither top/bottom/left/right!). This also explains the angle I took the shot from. You realise the leptop hard drive is at the front of the machine commonly? Well - IF that part is close to the coils that emit RF during the "degaus" process (which also happens at power up) then there is a slight possibility you could KILL the drive, because the magnetic field could cause a "head crash"! I thought it worthy of a post as a caution since a friend mentioned the danger. And I wanted to show off my middle of screen task bar.

Don't degauss your Hard Drive!
If you look at the picture you can see I have a highly unusual two "heads up" display configuration, with the primary screen ABOVE the other, rather than the more usual "landscape" choice for extending the desktop (side by side).
