I am running Windows (at work, mac at home) but I thought ruby's thread 
were "cross platform" as there were implemented purely in ruby. I even 
added a thread to handle keyboard input in the on the server and it's 
still locking on my box. I see the output:

Server running...
Press any key to quit...

But nothing I press unlocks it. Am I doing something wrong here (revised 
code below)?

require 'socket'

class ChatServer

  def initialize(port)
    @port = port
    @sessions = {}
  end

  def run_server

    @my_server = TCPServer.new('localhost',@port)

    Thread.new(self){|server| InputHandler.new(server).run}

    while(session = @my_server.accept)
      puts session.gets
      session.close
    end
  end

  def quit
    @my_server.close
    exit
  end

end

class InputHandler
  def initialize(server)
    @server = server
    puts "Server running..."
  end

  def run
    puts "Press any key to quit..."
    gets
    server.quit
  end
end

my_server = ChatServer.new((ARGV[0] || 80).to_i)
my_server.run_server
