Wifi came about around the time that every laptop, even small ones, had PCMCIA/cardbus slots and USB was fairly new as well, being used mainly for keyboards, mice, and joysticks. I remember having to buy a PCI USB card for my workstation because the motherboard didn't come with any USB ports even though it was less than a year old.
