which eliminates the need for cable connections between
PC and projector.  This convenient feature makes it easy
to switch presentations from one person to another – the
presenter simply passes a USB wireless LAN module to the
next presenter.  It also allows mobility between PC and
projector, so that you can pick up your PC and walk to
another part of the room without fumbling with a cable.
