Back on November 2nd, ComputerWorld (yes, I know) reported on a SAP
installation failure:

        Nash Finch Co., one of the first users to buy a version of SAP R/3
        for retailers, last month shelved most of its $76 million project
        after development delays made it impossible to install the software
        in time for the year 2000.

        Instead, the Minneapolis-based food wholesaler and supermarket
        operator, which has already spent about $50 million on the project,
        is launching a crash program to do a year 2000 fix on the mainframe
        applications that SAP AG's SAP Retail software was supposed to
        replace.

$50 Million down the tubes?  Ouch!
