     RE:  PeoplePC/Ford Beta Roll-out;
          Delta Beta Roll-out
          ----------------------------

Dear Dan:

     This Letter of Understanding ("LOU") is executed by and between Ingram
Micro Inc. ("Ingram") and PeoplePC, Inc. ("PeoplePC") as of the date set forth
above.  This LOU sets forth the terms and conditions under which Ingram will
sell certain Hewlett-Packard ("H-P") computer systems and related products to
PeoplePC in connection with PeoplePC's H-P product beta roll-out to Ford Motor
Company ("Ford") and with PeoplePC's H-P product alpha roll-out to Delta Air
Lines ("Delta").  Ingram and PeoplePC agree as follows:

     1.  Products Sold.  Ingram will sell to PeoplePC the computer product
systems and products in the quantity and type specified on the purchase orders
issued from PeoplePC to Ingram and dated as of May 15, 2000, copies of which are
attached to this LOU as Attachment "A" (collectively, the "Purchase Orders").
The computer product systems and related products in the type and quantity
specified on the PO are collectively referred to herein as the "Products."  A
"Product Unit" as used herein, means any of the following: a central processing
unit, a monitor, a printer or an accessory box.  Except to the extent permitted
pursuant to Paragraph 2 below, the Purchase Orders are noncancellable; no act or
failure to act by Ford, Delta or any other party shall relieve PeoplePC of its
obligation to buy the Products from Ingram.

     2.  Delivery Date.  Ingram expects to take delivery of the Products from H-
P in installments commencing no later than May 17, 2000.  Ingram shall have no
obligation to deliver timely to PeoplePC any portion of the Products not timely
delivered by H-P to Ingram. Representatives of People PC and Ingram Micro will
confer in good faith regarding the purchase and delivery schedule necessary to
meet the requirements of the Ford and Delta Beta programs. Parties will use
their best efforts to coordinate purchases and deliveries to meet such
requirements, and Ingram will use commercially reasonable efforts to implement
the agreed-upon schedule, provided that People PC has performed its other
material obligations under this LOU.


Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions
of this exhibit. The copy filed herewith omits the information subject to the
confidentiality request. Omissions are designated as [*]. A complete version of
this exhibit has been filed separately with the Securities and Exchange
