I couldn't agree more, but: is PHP a good example for a language which might 
actually be used to "configure, control,capture and analyse data" with 
hardware? If we were discussing C++ then I would agree, but since PHP was 
the start of this discussion, aren't we bigging up PHP a bit too much?

Or am *I* dumbing down PHP?!
