Why has someone been sending laptops to a few of the nation's governors?

As CIO Today reports, Hewlett-Packard says it is aware "that fraudulent state government orders recently have been placed for small amounts of HP equipment."

Word about mystery deliveries surfaced in The Charleston Gazette last week, when it reported that West Virginia State Police "are trying to find out who mailed five unsolicited laptop computers to Gov. Joe Manchin earlier this month."

The Associated Press says the FBI is now looking into similar deliveries to governors in Vermont, Wyoming and Washington state. And HP says there were orders, which it intercepted before delivery, for six other states.

According to the AP, none of the machines that were delivered were ever turned on at any of the governors' offices.
