It's a sedimentary rock like sandstone but with bigger harder particles in it.
The industrial revolution happened around here partly because of the local geology and partly because of the weather. We've big gritstone hills with lots of water flowing down them because it rains a lot. Where I am in the Pennines is just about the wettest place in the country. The high rainfall level off the hills can turn water wheels. The hard gritstone just happens to be perfect for milling. Add the two together and you've the start of the industrial revolution.
My house is built from gritstone. It's about 180 years old and the walls are between 30 and 45cm thick solid stone. It makes sighting wireless networking hardware fun and you go through drill bits a lot if you've got to put cables in.
My fireplace is not too dissimilar to that although that's finished to a higher standard. Much of my house is much coarser stonework. I've a church arch in my kitchen for instance that's about 300 year old since the builders reused bits from other buildings.
Interesting. It's not a term I learned in Geology. It's also not a term from my building stone books. Another British difference in description.
Might be worth calling some stores tomorrow morning first thing to see if they got some in today.
Your reviews and pictures are very excellent. This is the first real information we're starting to get. Since you are setting it up as 802.11N-only at 5ghz, you should be able to get throughput between two computers of around 200-300megabit/sec? Can you test this for us? Like a file transfer into the USB hard disk or file transfer between two connected Macs say 10-20 feet apart? And measure the speed using Activity Monitor or something else?

Congrats on getting one, I'm happy for you. Glad to hear it works well.
I am, however, bummed at Apple. I ordered one directly from Apple on the day it was announced and even though they are shipping earlier than promised, I have to wait longer than someone who can just go buy one.
EDIT: Got shipment notification. Should be here Tuesday.
All I know is at high school in Singapore and Australia whenever I started a sentence with And or But in an English essay or assignment, I'd get marks taken off
Still I was pretty much Straight As on English almost all the way through high school....!!! Yeeeeaahhhh biaaatch.....! So much has changed. I used to be a well-mannered, goody-goody kid. Now look at me.
Here's an example of the "---- are", I was talking about. Right here in our little AI world!
Read the last paragraph, and also see where he is from. You'll see more than one instance, with the other being "have", rather than "has".

Melgross, I don't think starting sentences with And and But is good grammer here in the States. I was taught like Sunil, you try not to do that. At least in English class.
I expect Apple to have a higher than usual number of returns on these once people realize that a lot of video from outside the iTunes Store won't play on it, or that it won't hook up to their TV, etc. It was a great idea, but Apple really fell through on the specs.
The funny thing about statements like this. Is that the only way I could say something like this is if I truly believed Apple were run by a bunch of complete idiots.

Yes I've mention this in other threads where people were bemoaning the lack of a DVR. People ignored it and continued with their complaining.

It's considered to be alright. It's colloquial, informal writing.
It can be difficult.
"At least in English class." is not a sentence, for example.

I lucked out and found one today at an Apple store in Tigard, Oregon. Check out a small review and some pictures here.

Hmm.. Yeah I don't think the two posters talking there have good grammar skills in general.
(Yeaaahhhh I think I used "have" above correctly

Except that, for over there, it is correct.

And, yes, I start sentences with "But". It's considered to be proper.
But, I also start sentences with "And", which is also considered to be proper.
Starting with a conjunction is fine...as long as you don't end up with a fragment.
