Welcome to the Wlonk Home Page

The Wlonk is a patented new style of computer input device that is vastly superior to the existing standard. Users
learn it quickly, key almost as fast as they think, and are no longer in danger of repetitive strain injury. They get
ten times the functionality with one tenth the keys. Manufacturing costs are much lower, and a single design
can satisfy all languages in all markets.

Queme quyssewes then that coyntlych closed,

His thik thrawen thyghes with thwonges to tachched;

And sithen the brawden bryné of bryght stel rynges

Umbeweved that wyy, upon wlonk stuffe,

And wel bornyst brace upon his both armes,

With gode cowters and gay, and gloves of plate . . .

(p.178) A govn of engranyt claith right gaily furrit.
A ring with a ryall stane or oyer riche iowell.
Or rest of his rousty raid yoght he wer rede wod
For all ye buddis of iohne blunt quhen he abone clymis.
Me think ye baid deir aboucht sa bawth ar his werkis
And yus i sell him solace yoght i it sour think
Fra sic a syre god zow saif my sueit sisteris deir.
Quhen that ye semely had said hir sentence to end.
Than all yai leuch apon loft with latis full mery
And raucht ye cop round about full off riche wynis
And ralzeit lang or yai wald rest with ryatus speche
The wedo ye toyir wlonk warpit yer wordis.
Now fair sister fallis zow but fenzing to tell.
