ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

(a)   Effective June 21, 2000, the Board of Directors of Tech Data Corporation
      ("Tech Data" or the "Registrant") engaged the accounting firm of Ernst &
      Young LLP as independent public accountants for the Registrant for the
      year ending January 31, 2001. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") was
      dismissed effective June 21, 2000. The change was recommended by
      management and approved by Tech Data's Audit Committee and Board of
      Directors.

(b)   During the two most recent fiscal years and subsequent interim period
      preceding the date of this report there were no disagreements with PwC on
      any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
      disclosure, auditing scope or procedure, or any reportable events.

(c)   The report of PwC on the financial statements of the Registrant for the
      past two years contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and
      was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting
      principles.

(d)   The Registrant has not consulted with Ernst & Young LLP during the last
      two years or subsequent interim period on either the application of
      accounting principles or type of opinion Ernst & Young LLP might issue on
      the Registrant's financial statements.

(e)   The Registrant requested PwC furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating
      whether PwC agrees with the above statements. A copy of this letter to the
      SEC, dated June 28, 2000, is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Form 8-K.
