Well, I remember a John Wayne movie in which the Duke wouldn't let this
guy handle dynamite because he never had an accident and thus didn't learn
what could go wrong. However, which looks better on a resume': someone
with lots of successful project experience, or someone with failed SAP
project experience? Or do you hire anyone who has SAP on their resume' if
you are implementing SAP?
