IntroductionThose of us who enjoy playing with NAS are essentially like me, the older men: Items purchased years ago that still work, with no desire to switch them out for something more fashionable or trendy.

In the eyes of others, we are middle-aged uncles with wrinkled faces, and some may even appear a bit greasy. However, in front of our families, especially our children, we are the pillars of support!
