Dear Wolfgang,

Sorry for the incomplete email; I (incorrectly) thought there was a  
problem with the exprs() function and thus minimised the example.

Here's the code following the virtualArray vignette:

library("GEOquery")
GSE13507 <- getGEO("GSE13507",GSEMatrix=FALSE, AnnotGPL=FALSE)
summary(exprs(GSE13507))
Error in (function (classes, fdef, mtable)  :
   unable to find an inherited method for function ‘exprs’ for signature  
‘"GSE"’
