If you have leapoard, then when you are in Address Book, just clikc on the Time Machine icon, and you can use the slider to access old addresses very easily. Even works on searches, as you go back in time, the address bok search is updated as you go. Very neat. Re: address history in Address Book on the mac.

With showing people onclick attributes in your code you can destroy the efforts of Keith or Heilmann to make the web a bit less obtrusive. Especially when you already include prototype which has element-observers. Tutorials always should enforce and describe best practices (or add a big-red hint: DON'T do this at home)! Is it expected that the vimeo video bleeds into the sidebar?

However I can't get my data posted at the end of the history (Now side) when I go back in time and edit-then-save a past record. Well, I'm not sure that it should work like that, but this is what I expected to happen. I guess that there is a lot to think about when starting to implement something like this, that potentially lets users create different timelines into a database. Good concept.

I occasionally have an app where different versions of a record must be kept. Usually I just have some sort of list of the past version. I like the concept of using a slider to move between the versions so from a UI perspective they are using the same interface they are used to using for current data. Nice work!
