 I think this is correct as it is.  U.S. convention is to put closing
 punctuation inside the quote.  Although this isn't always followed,
 especially in technical documents where "dd." and "dd" may mean
 different things, I don't think I've seen any reasons to duplicate
 punctuation like you suggest above.

 It's just not the full stop of the sentence, the "!" is from a message
 displayed on the screen, the punctuation of that message shouldn't
 override the punctuation of the sentence.

State-Changed-Why:  
The added period properly terminates the sentence.  Since the 
exclamation mark is part of the quoted text, this change looks fine ;) 

Thanks.
