[DM-MUG] Tuesday's meeting

[Matthew Wheeler]

Thanks for the compliment and I'm glad you enjoyed it. My presentations 
never seem to go as well as I'd like. I'd only had 10.3 installed since 
late Friday night and had even less time to get it under my belt. It's 
a good thing I'm not ashamed to learn in front of the group.

Here's a new tip for Panther users: You can resize the columns in 
column view by dragging the column separator. In Panther only the 
separator you grab is resized. If you hold down the option key, all 
columns are resized equally.
