The more I use ReminderFox the more I like it.  Time entry is really 
nice.  Every time field is a drop-down with every hour as a menu option, 
but each option has four sub-options for the quarter-hours.  And if you 
need something more fine grained, you can type in the time.

The reminder/snooze feature is very nice.  And it's really quite 
flexible.  You can add real events like meetings and so on, or you can 
just put in a reminder to do something in 45 minutes (well, you have to 
calculate the time, but you get my drift).  But it shows the polish of a 
good open source project: one of the nice features is that when the 
reminder hits, you not only can reset it (with a number of good 
presets), but you can do things like mark it as complete, or even delete it.

This shows that people are actually using it, and asking for or adding 
features that make it work in the real world.

Anyway, that's my half a nickel for today.
