I hope you tape it on the right side.
No! The LEFT side; text usually ends up bunching on the left side (in left to right languages at least) so this note, like scrollbars, should go on the left.
It feels more natural to have the scrollbar on the right. I'm right-handed. If I flick through paper, I'll use the right-hand side of the paper to flick through. Ditto for most physical devices; having controls on the right-hand side is easier for me.
Ditto for resizing windows, closing windows, floating toolbars and probably other things if I think hard enough. If it were a real physical pen-and-paper desktop, all my tools would be near my right hand.
Apologies to all lefties. Perhaps we could make an option that mirrored all the UI components for left-handed people? :-P.
