Thanks, that's more or less that (but not byte by byte!)

I've made my own:

class FIFO{

private Object[] list = new Object[0];

public void add(Object obj){

Object[] newList = new Object[list.length+1];

for(int count=0; count<=list.length-1; count++){

newList[count] = list[count];

}

newList[newList.length-1] = obj;

list = newList;

}

public Object get(){

while(list.length==0){

try{Thread.sleep(100);}catch(InterruptedException e){}

}

Object obj = list[0];

Object[] newList = new Object[list.length-1];

for(int count=1; count<=list.length-1; count++){

newList[count-1] = list[count];

}

list = newList;

return obj;

}

public Object fastGet(String nothing){

if(list.length==0){

return nothing;

}

Object obj = list[0];

Object[] newList = new Object[list.length-1];

for(int count=list.length-1; count>=1; count--){

newList[count-1] = list[count];

}

list = newList;

return obj;

}

}
