            if gets.chomp! == "!quit" then
              cleanupAndExit
            else
              puts gets.chomp!
            end

Note how gets is called twice.

Incidentally, a plain gets is *not* the same as STDIN.gets, but is more 
like ARGF.gets. It makes a difference when someone puts some arguments 
on the command line. Use STDIN.gets to be safe.
