Tom Tom is kind of like the TiVo of GPS units. They did everything right at the outset, they make a nice product, and they don’t get the props they should. Oh well. That’s the way the electronics cookie crumbles. Anyway, the Tom Tom One is an updated version of the original unit, a bit…

Playing paintball back in the day was fun, except that the game would screech to a halt when everyone ran out of CO2. We’d drive over to Dick’s Sporting Goods and get our tanks refilled for $5 then get back into the game. That trip to Dick’s is now a thing of the past thanks…
