Hi there! It's because that particular line doesn't fall inside of the main function, but outside of it. So now, it no longer has access to System.Console. I moved the line up to where the user can type in quit. Take a look:

if (entry.ToLower() == "quit")
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Goodbye");
                    break;
                }

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
