According to page 14 of the manual it should be on the HyperSpin™ cycle with Whirlwind technology at 40°c only
As with people who own Ferraris and other expensive baubles and don't put them through a machine wash for fear of spoiling the paintwork, if your Star Wars mugs are valuable to you then hand wash is the only way.Originally Posted by K.C.Leblanc

Nine-tenths of a gig,
Biggest ever seen,
God, this program's big--
MS Word 15!
Comes on ten CDs,
And requires--damn!
Word is fine, but jeez--
60 megs of RAM?!
Oh! Microsoft, Microsoft,
Bloatware all the way!
I've sat here installing Word
Since breakfast yesterday!
Oh! Microsoft, Microsoft,
Moderation, please.
Guess you hadn't noticed:
Four-gig drives don't grow on trees!

(probably shouldn't be in the contest as I based it on one I found - but I thought it was fun anyway)
that's the best so far WITCH
Have you ever tried poaching fish in your dishwasher? You wrap it in silver foil with whatever garnish/marinade, etc you want. I tried it once and it tasted disgusting. Perhaps I wasn't supposed to do a wash cycle at the same time?
:-)
Now quite what we needed and I haven't the time to finish it but here's something I started writing for a bit of light entertainment...
Feel free to completeAs the server went crashing with a new Winupdate
All thoughts of glad tidings went poof at a rate
The techies all sobbed as the budget was bare
while their manager sat pulling out bits of his hair
The teachers all ranted as amazon went dead
No more online shopping, but teaching instead
The techies sat quietly observing this scene
Absorbing abuse and some threats quite obscene
When all of sudden an idea began growing
and a techie sat back as his pulse started slowing
As if in a daze he grabbed a spare phone
Lifted the handset and prayed for a tone
The teachers caught sight of the glowering man
Prompting swift exit and departures for home
At last he had peace and some space for his task
So he grabbed a quick belt from his little hip flask
The microsoft engineer listened with sorrow
And said he'd be calling him back by tomorrow
But knowing this tactic the techie held firm
"Your life will be forfeit, you scumsucking worm
If you don't want me calling to speak to your boss
Get down here you fool I'm really quite cross"
The phone it went silent at MS HQ
The brain cell was buzzing bout what they could do
....
BAND AID - at least i tried lol (sing to the tune of band aid)
It's Backup time, There's no need to be afraid
at backup time we run the batch files
and in our school of pleanty, we can spread viruses of joy
shut your machines down for me, it's backup time
Run the scheules
Pray for the Updates
at backup time, it hard but when your having fun
there's apple outside your windows
and it's a world of dreaded fear
where the only commande running are ctrl-alt and delete
and the mouse click are clicking, on shiney mighty mouse
well tonight thank god it's apple, instead of you
To the tune of We Three Kings:
Computers in Schools
what mayhem they give
We IT Technicians
are caught in the midst
Of teachers who can't
use Word or Excel
or the students who try to hack in.
Ohhhh
Filter of calm
please delight
by stopping the porn getting in tonight.
No virii in my emails,
No trojans or worms,
Keep nasty files out of sight.
Blue screens of death
are real pests
especially when doing
the KS3 tests.
The problems obscure
and the only cure
is to log the kids in as guests.
Ohhhh
Filter of calm
please delight
by stopping the porn getting in tonight.
No virii in my emails,
No trojans or worms,
Keep nasty files out of sight.
SQL has died
so SIMS is no more
MOODLE has faltered
and there's a knock on the door.
Its the Deputy Head
So stressed and red
'Cos his inkjets leaked all over the floor.
Ohhhh
Filter of calm
please delight
by stopping the porn getting in tonight.
No virii in my emails,
No trojans or worms,
Keep nasty files out of sight.
Nice try, but I struggled to understand any of that (is it just me?)
I think WITCH is winning so far!
Quick and dirty, to the tune of once in roal davids city, sort of.
Once in the server room,
Stood a lowly computer we assume,
Where a Technician laid his dell server,
In a rack to entomb:
Software that was so bland and mild,
Jesus Christ, its uncompiled.
He came down to install,
The network admin and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a desk,
Looking at girls who were burlesque :
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
Lived on caffeine our engineer so weary.
For He is our network guardian;
Day by day, like us, He grew so drunken;
He was embittered, down trodden, and vindictive,
Tears and smiles, He managed to be so furtive.
And He cares when we are watching you tube,
As long as it is free of the dreaded boob..
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
Through His own cheap Webcam;
For that admin, so unhappy and overloaded,
Health and safety always flouted:
And He leads The children on,
To the place where the back up has gone.
And Finally it does install,
But omg it does appall.
For that Damn software, so bad and poor,
Is up and running, praise to our savior:
And He leaves to go on his way,
All problems complete for another day.
Keep them coming folks ... not long to go!
No I'm not winning as I did say that I had based it on one I found on the web.
I'm sure everyone else made theirs up from scratch, and I think they are all brilliant - if a little obscure in places! I like TheFopps, mainly for his use of the word 'virii'
inspired by thegrassisgreener ( great job mate):
[ i'm a mod so this isn't an entry of course]
It's upgrade time, and there's no need to be afraid
At upgrade time, SIMS never works, that's how it's made
And in our world of uncertainty,
we can spread a smile of joy.
No registers to take, it's upgrade time!
Just say a prayer, pray for the other ones
Techies are there, pulling out their hair, wondering what Capita have done
It costs the world to buy this software, why does it have to cause such pain?!
Well tonight thank god it's them, instead of you
You can bet our budget will be cut next April time,
The greatest joy we'll get this year is less to spend.
Capita, bank balance growing,
and development so slow
Do you know it's upgrade time at all!?
Here's to us - watching while this upgrade runs
Here's to them - Capita with all our funds
Do they know it's upgrade time at all!?
No there won't be sleep tonight inside the techies room.
If they could, they'd get out of there, and get a life
There's a world outside their window
It's a world without Capita pain
Do they know it's upgrade time at all..
(to the tune of Fairytale of New York)
It was Christmas Eve again,
In the office,
Working late again, updates to do.
And then the call came in,
A deputy on the phone,
And as I took the call,
I knew I’d never get home.
I’m such an unlucky one,
Five minutes and I’d have been gone,
I’ve got a feeling,
This might be bad.
Can’t get his email,
His files are missing,
And SIMS is on the blink,
I know I’m going to end up mad.
The server was down,
And try as I might,
The drive wouldn’t spin up,
LED’s all alight.
I opened the RAID cage,
Pray what did I see?
Two small yellow warning lights,
Blinking at me.
They were dead,
I was certain,
Data gone for a burton,
All the records and emails,
Forever no more.
With the phone still a ringing,
The hard drives I was slinging,
Backup tapes from the corner,
In dusty old drawer.
And the restore is now in its second hour
But there’s still no end in sight.
And I know it’s going to be,
A long long night.
Pray to God
It’s not Junk
Or the tape hasn’t shrunk
Or my life’s not worth living, come tomorrow at dawn
I yell and I curse,
It couldn’t be any worse,
All the tapes are unlabled
And the throughput is poor.
And the restore is now in its third hour
But there’s still no end in sight.
And I know it’s going to be,
A long long night.
Instead of being at home,
I’m stuck beside the phone,
Trying to calm the foam,
Of user anger.
But now the end is near,
It’s time to give a cheer,
I’m finally leaving here,
On Christmas Eve
And the restore is now in its final hour
And there’s an end in sight.
And I knew it was going to be,
A long long night.
