...depends...

- accept to use only 'rma' preprocessing and check justRMA in devel
(but I want people of the world to feel free and equal, whatever the
preprocessing method they have faith in, so...)
- wait for tomorrow (possibly today). I will put on a pack
of (hackish and inot very official) add-ons for 'affy' that let me process something like 90 U95A 
with half a GB (and linux).  
(By the way, what is the size of a moe430 chip ?)
