The Real Deal dragon's Blood
Not all products sold as Dragon’s blood resin are the same. Some are great. Some are terrible. This one is great.
Dragon’s blood is a bright-red resin, commonly harvested from the berry skins or tapping trough the bark of Dracaena draco, Dracaena cinnabari, Draceana ombet and perhaps other varieties. The good stuff is almost brown with a reddish tint in appearance. Its scent when released is soft, quite sweet and subtly spicy.
When used as an incense, dragon’s blood resin may perform at its best when ground to a powder using a pestle & mortar, mixing it with other tree resins and/or select dried items such as plant materials, then heated directly on charcoal. If you require smoke then this method is the way to go.
The only issue with heating anything directly on charcoal is once the material has released all of its loveliness, there is always a less pleasant after-shot of burnt material that fills the air. Slowing the burn time can help reduce this.
If you can get the temperature right, dragon’s blood resin will quickly fill a room with its aroma for hours without the smoke when using a tea light / oil burner set up. Getting a soapstone oil burner hot enough with tea lights in order to trigger the release of dragon’s blood’s scent may prove difficult depending on your tools. However it is my preferred method for normal/regular usage in combination with other resins.
In esoteric work, dragon’s blood MAY help with drawing in good fortune, healing, love, banishing, exorcism, protection, courage, cleansing, power, astral travel, anointing, or can be used to create ink to be used when writing petitions.
I give this product a high rating as it is the real deal.

I didn't want to pay retail prices
Pros:
Clicky old-skool feel keys.
Compact.
Fairly lightweight.
Plug n Play
Cons:
It could be a driver or settings issue but the touchpad takes some getting used to.
Cosmetically cheap - there is nothing fancy about this keyboard.
Touchpad buttons feel cheap (but may surprise me and last a long time)
Conclusion:
I needed a cheap keyboard for a test rig. It needed to be basic and plug & play. Portability was also a concern as there was no need for a full sized keyboard. I have new computing devices and the keyboard keys have quite a cheap feel. The keys on this keyboard feel solid. The touchpad was a bonus so the fact it's not up to much doesn't matter. It's very small and there is a fair bit of jumping around of the cursor. I may be able to rectify this in the settings.
It was worth the £37 I paid. If I paid more than 40 I'd be less impressed. I think they should be retailed at £28-35 in all honesty.
I expect this keyboard to last a long time, even if it suffered a liquid spill. This might be why it retails in the region of £45.

Advent 4214 / J10IL3
I bought the Advent netbook several years ago. It came with a straight DC plug that protruded from the side of the netbook. After much wear 'n tear both ends of the DC wire got destroyed (broken core - wiggle to make connection). I managed to bodge/re-solder then handle with care for a long time.
This AJP replacement was chose because it has a right angle plug. This should provide less instances of accidental stress. I think I can get several years out of this charger providing it doesn't suffer an electrical fault.
So far so good. It doesn't make much noise either. The original charger made a high pitched ringing sound.
