Quitter is simple to use:
You can work with more than 200 twits at a time. However, the 200 threshold
refers to the number of polls the quitter client makes to the Twitter server
in an hour. You can alter this of course by opening the Configuration panel
which is highly accessible.
Personally I work with Lists so that the list is presented in a buffer of
its own: this helps reading so many twits and not scroll those 200 twits at
a time. This is advantageous in that each of these lists can hold 200 twits
of its own in a separate buffer from the Home buffer.
Hopes this is clear, if it's hieroglyphic I'm sorry. Just threw my own
thoughts on this.
Cheers,
Ishe

Subject: [Blind-Computing] Qwitter: How do I download more than 200 tweets
HI. I've been using McTwit for ages, but I'm switching over to Qwitter
now,
the newest version. There are some issues that I need help on, however.
Let's say my computer is turned off all day. I boot up and load Qwitter.
In configuration, the max of tweets Qwitter says I can grab is the latest
200, but what if I have more than 200 I hadn't read which is usually the
case? I've been told that I can adjust it via API calls or something so
that I can grab all of the tweets I'm behind on rather than only the
newest
200.
Another question I have is what if I've already grabbed a certain amount
of
new tweets, but I want to go back and grab further back, like another 100
more whether I've already read them or not? Can that be done?
To give an example, in McTwit I can tell it to grab as many tweets as I
want. And then if I want to grab all of them again and more, I adjust how
many tweets to grab and then change a setting to allow tweets I've
already
read to be redownloaded. So, I can have it grab the tweets all over again
but go further back to grab more of them.
I'm finding it difficult to comprehend that if someone is gone all day,
they
come home, boot up, and download all their tweets, that if they only get
the
newest 200 and that's it, that people are happy with that.
Maybe it's not an issue for people who always have their computer on and
Qwitter loaded, but surely there's a solution for us who don't do that.
I'm perusing the read me file, and it's answering most of my questions,
but
there are a few that it either doesn't address or I'm just missing it.
Thanks,
