Fun with numbers!

Lessee, "traditional" keyboard and mouse setup:

-1 port for the keyboard.
+2 ports on the keyboard.
-1 port for the mouse.

Result: No ports gained or lost.

Bluetooth keyboard and mouse setup:

-1 port for the dongle (if required).

Result: 1 port lost on older Macs, No ports lost or gained on Macs
w/Bluetooth.

Not exactly a loss of 3 ports, though.
