Wrong context, this is defined within the "Context" class definition, not 
within the one object (instance of Context) that you create.  What you 
want is:

  def initialize
    @companyname = "acme"
  end

Singleton will make "new" private, but you still want to use "initialize" 
which will be called by "instance"
