I'm really starting to develop a downright Pavlovian response to the combination of words "Sanyo" and "VPC", and every time I see them together I start snarling.  I have yet to encounter a GOOD Sanyo VPC that isn't either bargain-basement crapola or so overpriced for what you get that it's almost a joke.  Sadly, that's ...
