Notice: Computernewb is currently undergoing maintenance. During this time, the CrustyWindows collection will be unavailable. The wiki may not work until we get the extensions up and running again. Updates will be provided in the CrustyWindows Discord. Thank you!
If you plan to make a YouTube video or other content using bootlegs downloaded from our site, although we can't and won't force you to do anything, we greatly appreciate attribution for the large amounts of time and effort we spend finding these bootlegs. Thank you!
