I have been extremely frustrated today after trying several different times to use the DeDRM tool to strip the DRM from $60 worth of books I purchased at ebooks.com and want to load on to my XTEInk X4. I have used DeDRM 10.0.9 which from what I understand is the latest version. I have taken the acsm files and downloaded them through ADE using Wine. I can read the books on ADE. When I click and drag from My Digital Editions into Calibre, they will not convert or open because they have said they're DRM protected. Somehow, the plugin isn't working for me and I don't understand what I've done wrong. I have also tried the DeACSM plugin and have them running simultaneously, however the DeACSM plugin cannot seem to get my ADE login information and therefore is not doing much of anything either. Can someone break it down for me like I'm an idiot? (Because I may be.) I'm running the latest release of Linux Mint Cinnamon and have sourced the plugins through the Calibre plugin list. Thanks in advance, hoping I actually get to read these books someday.

As noted in the title, I woke up this morning with an idea- it is a family member's birthday and I thought it would be a fun exercise to code a program that outputs their age if you put in the current year and their year of birth. After a failed attempt and some troubleshooting, I wrote a simple program that works great. It's not anything elaborate or amazing, but it's mine and so I'm a bit proud of it and would like to share here.

1 REM AGE CALCULATOR

5 PRINT "{CLR/HOME}"

10 PRINT "CURRENT YEAR": INPUT A%

20 PRINT "ORIGIN YEAR": INPUT X%

30 PRINT "AGE ="; A% - X%

40 GOTO 10

I only started with BASIC yesterday so seeing an original creation come to life and work is so cool for me. Hope others will share their fun/useful programs here too!
