Project 18, ???Create an Ad Hoc Wireless Network,??? shows you how to set up a
computer-to-computer wireless network that you can use to share files, devices, or
your Internet connection temporarily. If your PCs already have wireless network
adapters built in, you??™re all ready to set up a network; if not, you??™ll need to add a
wireless network adapter before you can begin.
Project 19, ???Digitize Your Paper Documents,??? suggests strategies for getting rid of
the heaps of paper that threaten to derail even the most determined digital lifestyle.
You??™ll need a scanner to scan your documents, and perhaps a shredder to dispose securely
of those you no longer want. Beyond that, you??™ll need a system for managing
your documents so that you can easily locate the ones you need. This project provides
approaches that work for light numbers of documents, moderate numbers of documents,
and stacks-of-boxes-full quantities.
Advanced Projects

you can use with versions of Windows that don??™t have built-in encryption.
