I hope all the people who are complaining about the TM interface realise they don't have to use it at all. The entire TM archive is navigable using the Finder.

Did you read my complaint? I have no issues with the interface -- I think the "back in time" analogy is perfect. My complaint is with the (to me) annoying and distracting background *behind* that interface.

The Finder is a poor substitute for the TM interface as it's not nearly as easy to browse by date -- it takes a *lot* more clicking to get anything done.

it wold be great to have an option to disable the animated interface - it's almost impossible to use it via Remote Desktop on a standard DSL line.
