John, Go to the "Sharing" preference panel and turn on "Personal File Sharing" on both machines. Then, from machine that is the destination, choose "Connect to Server..." from the "Go" menu in the Finder. In the small window that opens, click "Browse" and then navigate to the name of the other computer and choose it, then click "Connect". (You may have to authenticate, which means entering the user name and password for the account on the other computer. Don't connect as a guest, you probably won't be able to access any files.) If you have more than one account on the computer, you will have the chance to pick which user account (or the entire hard drive) you wish to open.
In a few seconds, the hard drive of the other computer will appear on your desktop, but the icon will be different. It may be a blue or grey small globe. Double click it and you can drag any of the files you want onto the desktop of your destination computer. Let me know if you have any trouble doing this and I'll try to send you some screen shots. I'm doing the 10.3 part from memory because I have not run that OS since 10.4 was released. So, my descriptions may not be 100% accurate, but the procedure is correct. When you are finished accessing the other computer, drag that globe to the trash to "eject" the disk.
