Hi, I am trying to find a desktop calender to suite my limited needs, but haven't been able to find one as yet. They're generally meant for an office environment, not for a single user with a short term memory. It needs to do only one thing, allow me to write a reminder note to a specific date and then show me this note at a specific time, prior to this date, say the day before. This could be a typical "pop-up" alert. It doesn't need to be fancy, just free, preferably. Any opinions? Any help will be appreciated.

I use ReminderFox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1191
Works well...

Thanks Broni, that one's great for online reminders. I found one called Hott Notes 4, like those little "sticky" notes. It's so good, I'm actually thinking of donating to his cause, assuming Hott is a guy.

If you would like to tie it in with your email and general calendar, Thunderbird and its Lightning add-on has the option for pop-ups or an email reminder for events and tasks. It can also be tied in with Google calendar if you are sharing or looking at other people's calendars.
