The original example didn't loop.

BufferedReader reader =
   new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder("Hello, ");
System.out.print("Please enter your first name: ");
try {
   builder.append(reader.readLine());
   builder.append("!");
   System.out.println(builder);
} catch (IOException e) {
   System.err.println("Something's wrong, a stack trace follows:");
   e.printStackTrace();
}
