Why was upside down from the user's perspective an issue? Because the design group noticed that users constantly tried to open the laptop from the wrong end. Steve Jobs always focuses on providing the best possible user experience and believed that it was more important to satisfy the user than the onlooker.
Obviously, after a few years, Steve reversed his decision.
Opening a laptop from the wrong end is a self-correcting problem that only lasts for a few seconds. However, viewing the upside logo is a problem that lasts indefinitely. More here.

I forgot that they were that way
I suppose that it being upside down is a bit irksome, I can see why that would have annoyed poor Steve.
my hp laptop is the same.
Well, aesthetics mean a lot to apple thats for sure
Especially with all of the product placement they enjoy these days, it is probably best that they turned the logo right side up.
