From Me:

First, my apologies for not posting over the past almost three weeks. My computer went into meltdown (I was curious what that plastic-y burning smell was...) and I had to get a new one. I wasn't able to get the new one to work at first because of an adaptar issue with the monitor. Then I had to Frankenstein the new computer a bit, add my old hard drive, and now - finally- I have a decent, reliable computer...that may have processing power up to 4.0ghz and 4tb of hard drive space.....

The frock coat: The embroidered frock coat was a popular theme in the late 18th century and, really, for court wear, well up into the 19th Century. Based on the cut of this one, I think it's more 1780's than 1770's.

    1. Go for the extra hard drive. Even when I wasn't sure the internal HDD was salvageable, I wasn't overly worried - I had the external hard drive. I just backed it up two months prior and use the external hard drive for school so the only thing I was missing were a couple of months worth of pictures. :-)
