#1 If you decide to use features, you will want to integrate it with
Cucumber [1]

#2 You will need to use the copyright header notice as mentioned in
the GNU website [2]

#3 Avoid using system(). If you decide to use shell commands, you can
enclose them within backticks, and return the result to a variable. It
is good to check the status, always!

#4 Follow Ruby coding guidelines, strictly. Fix your indentation.

#5 Write variables in full. @choice instead of @choic.

#6 Ruby is also about being concise. You don't require the parenthesis
in the if() statement.

  if @choice == 'y'

instead of

  if(@choic == 'y')

The same goes with function invocation: quit instead of quit().

Did you do some research on finding available chat clients that work
from the terminal? If yes, how different are they from your
implementation?

Emacs has jabber support [3]. irssi has xmpp support [4] to talk to a
Jabber network. There is also the option of using BitlBee [5] that can
act as a gateway for multiple chat protocols. This allows you to use
any console client of your choice.
