My top rack is vinyl and I actually broke a glass in it tonight. I was
loading it to run and a bowl I put on the top rack fell over onto glass
and broke it and I hope I found all the pieces. I had to just run it.
I might find some clean sharp pieces in the flatware bin because I
couldn't find any more pieces.

I also just bought a GE Tall tub stainless dishwasher. The cycle ended
without incident so I'll have to be careful emptying it.
