Not that many years ago I told a salesman that I would never need a 5MB
drive.

Years ago a parsimonious partner of mind bought a new computer and
decided he wouldn't need more than a 5MB HDD. He was highly
disconcerted to find that the smallest he could buy was 10MB. He went
on mumbling about conspicuous consumption and waste for months
afterwards.

technology, at the time.

As for parsimony, I knew one accountant who upon learning that he only
had a few months to live, canceled all his magazine subscriptions.
