Thank you for your reply. I know there are newer versions available, but for the 
manuscript I'm preparing I would like to be consistent with version control 
amongst my analyses.

The question remains, why am I getting probesets with antiquated Entrez IDs
 when the annotation package I used (see original message) from August 2007 
should be adequately up to date so as to exclude these discontinued IDs?
