Is it possible to retrieve a single application from a Time Machine backup? I've got a Time Machine backup from an old machine. 

I don't want to over-write all the content from the backup, I'd just like to retrieve a couple of applications that were on my old machine - TextMate and Microsoft Word.

Is it possible to retrieve those applications singly, without over-writing all the content on my new machine?

Thanks for your help.
Yes, just mount your backup as a disk and copy the files you want out of it.
