The one thing I can say about the old port placement is that if it had been on the front, 3/5 of my mac using relatives would have plugged it in out of the box and never unplugged it.
I don’t understand the appeal of a wireless mouse or keyboard in most situations. You still have it on the desk right next to the computer, it’s not like you’re using it from far away, and now you’ve got to think about keeping the battery charged. Wireless headphones make a bit more sense, because you’re wearing them.
For me, a clutterbug, having a wireless mouse means the wire is not getting in the way of stuff and having to reposition it constantly. But I ended up switching to a trackball which works even better.

Cool. Let them use their hardware the way they want.
I think they’d much rather have a wireless mouse.
They just wouldn’t know they had one

And?
And they’d have gone forever not knowing they had a wireless mouse. That’s all.
Which is why they put the plug on the bottom.
