Hi Colin,

Please don't take things off-list. The intent is that the list archives 
might be a useful thing for people to search for answers.

This is your problem. You have a very out of date version of affy. No 
idea how you got such a beast, but using biocLite() to install packages 
should make such a thing impossible.

So biocLite("affy") should get you fixed up.

Best,

Jim
