Why shareware?

In my daily work, I generally log into several servers to do maintenence and upgrades. I was thrilled to see telnet and ssh included with OS X, but found it frustrating to have to type the server address and login everytime I logged in. So I wrote TelnetLauncher. Hopefully you'll find it to be as much of a convienience as I have, and if not, please let me know so I can improve it.

Thanks,
