Anyway, when done correctly thin provisioning is a big money saver because a purchase or a lease can be delayed until really needed, and will cover only the increment suggested by the growth trend. For a small company thin provisioning may not make much of a difference, because the granularity of their purchases can’t go below a certain level ( you can’t buy a third of a storage enclosure, for example). Hope this helps, but you know where to find me if it doesn’t. Posted by Mario Apicella on October 2, 2007 01:37 PM [an error occurred while processing this directive].

This junkman’s got a heart of gold
New York Daily News – Oct 30, 2007
He and Will Mingo, his partner in the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? franchise, were born and reared in the Grant Houses in west Harlem. Harris went to Park West High School, Mingo went to Rice High School. Harris started a moving and storage company right after high school, but Mingo went to college and studied business. Still, they stayed close friends. Like most people who end up owning a GOT-JUNK? franchise, Mingo, 37, wanted to clean out his garage, and heard from a friend about the company. There was a franchise in New Jersey, but none in the Bronx. So three months ago, he and Harris jumped in to fill the need.
