The USB 4 Port Data Switch is probably the easiest way to “network” your devices. Plug your device and computers into the switch and you will be able to change which machine has access to it at the push of a button.
Note that if you go to the trouble of learning how to configure a home network then you will get the same functionality without switching, but this is cool for the countless people that don’t know what to do and don’t have the time to figure it out and its cheap..
Price: $29.99 [USB Switch via Red Ferret]

Actually, this may be better than home networking for some devices. I have an multi-purpose canon printer, and I can share it as a printer on the home network, but you have to be physically connected to it to make the scanning work.
Thought it was worth noting.
