Can anyone help me find my case from 2002?

I used this case from 2002-2008 and just have one blurry photo of it. I've also posted on reddit looking for it but maybe someone here recognizes it

Re: Terry Davis and TempleOS

I heard of him from the linked Down the Rabbit Hole video a few years. I find his story fascinating and tragic - I mean you can see his mental health descent but there's still fundamentally so much evidence that he was so talented beyond that

Re: My plant based Keto diet experience

Keto works for weight loss because it makes you less hungry so you eat at a deficit more easily.
