[Remind-Fans] "blow a horn and flash a message on the screen" -X

[Daniel A Graham]

What about 'wall' in conjunction with reminders using 'RUN' and with, 
of course, remind running in the background (with the -z switch)?

By the way, yeaGTD (www.duke.edu/~dgraham/yeaGTD can be run in a 
console as a convenient, text-based version of GTD.
