[Remind-Fans] Remind OSX package

[Jimmy Montano]

Wow
thanks for such a complete guide ;)

the thing is, I already ordered a Macbook and a friend of mine is  
gonna to buy my iBook and reinstall from scratch. (he is a newbie  
coming from the dark side)

I wanted Remind precompiled just to start organizing my workflow into  
some sort of GTD. But installing Xcode just for doing this seems like  
a burden to me

I'll surelly install Xcode on the MB and runk Fink Macports and lots  
of gnu stuff already ported into OSX.
