We currently have the following:

Hello World 1:
   # The Greeter class
   class Greeter
     def initialize(name)
       @name = name.capitalize
     end

     def salute
       puts "Hello #{@name}!"
     end
   end

   # Create a new object
   g = Greeter.new("world")

   # Output "Hello World!"
   g.salute


Hello World 2:
   # The famous Hello World
   # program is trivial in
   # Ruby. You don't need:
   #
   # * a "main" method
   # * newline escapes
   # * semicolons
   #
   # Here's the code:

   puts "Hello World!"


I Love Ruby:
   # Output "I *love* Ruby"
   say = "I love Ruby"
   puts say

   # Output "I *LOVE* RUBY"
   say['love'] = "*love*"
   puts say.upcase

   # Output "I *love* Ruby"
   # five times
   5.times { puts say }


Suggestions?
