[BioC] read subset of affy data

[Xuejun Peng]

I have 100 affy arrays and I got an "out-of-memory" error message when I 
try to batch-read all of them simultaneously. On the other hand, it is 
really inefficient to read them one by one.
Since I have a specific list of genes that I want to read, can I use 
ReadAffy or some other functions to read the subset of genes directly 
from .cel files? For a simple example, I only want to read  five genes 
and I know their probe set ID's.

Can anyone help? Thanks.
