Please disregard. Now I get it. That's pretty slick. I never realized
that it works like browsing the version history of a document.
Basically, if you go to Finder and pick a folder and then open Time
Machine, as you select from the slider to go back, you can use the Window
Chooser menu to see the folder's state at that point in time. There is a
restore button you can use to restore it to the present.
