You should only need to run getBioC() once.  This script downloads and
install Bioconductor packages onto your machine.  They'll still be
there when you reboot --- if they are not, you have other problems
(like a missing harddrive ;-)

You will always need to load the packages you will use for each new R
session.

>>Data <- readAffy()
>>eset <- rma(data)

If you wish to work with eset between many sessions, you can use the
save() function to save the result in an R binary file which you can
load again later.  This will be faster than reparsing the original
data.

I think this may be the name mismatch of the files as you noted below.
