@tim you're thinking of streams as just file-related things
thorsten -
Using the new stream class you can do:
var stream = new Stream.Readable()
stream.push(null)
stream.push('your data and stuff')
when you're ready for a file
stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('outputfile'))
keep in mind data events wont get emitted without a listener in new
streams, for better/worse depending on what you're trying to do
