It isn't unscrupulous to sell it! That is the point of open source/
free software. One of your freedoms is the freedom to sell it for
whatever price you can get someone else to pay. Of course everyone
else has the same freedom.

The Mac problems are two fold. The first is that the graphics library
I use is less mature on Mac. 0.7.17 will be changing to a new version
which is much improved.

The other reason is that many people try to avoid reading the
help and other documentation. On Windows, the phone won't
even show up without a device driver present, and most cables
come with drivers. On the other platforms all sorts of
random stuff happens. For example the most recent set of
Mac people with issues were because they were using USB to
serial cables without drivers. 0.7.16 now has code to
refuse to use those directly insisting on drivers.
