Another vote for remind - although I only use it to email me the next
day's reminders rather than as an interactive "pop-up" application.  But
the configurability is brilliant, allowing for count-downs to events,
calculation of moon phases for my lattitude and longitude, and any other
number of things.

But then I'm a mutt devotee also.
