Dear Russell,

I was one of the Vimeo watchers: excellent! 

I was so impressed with the part about popup notifications, that I tried to get it running on the Mac. Many users who have Emacs on the Mac will use growl, http://growl.info, a free notification system.

The shell command of your my-appt-disp-window() function can be adapted to use growl's optional commandline interface in this way:

  "growlnotify -s -m \"" msg "\""

This will produce a beautiful (and sticky) popup window, one can add an optional icon and a priority (and lots of styles for the graphical appearance).

Warm regards,
 Stefan
