Default What is the CC area in memos for?

"CC" is an acronym for "carbon copy". If you're young enough, you may never
have seen carbon paper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_paper) or, for
that matter, the typewriter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typewriter) that
it was used with.

The CC field is where you put the names of people who are getting copies of
the memo but aren't the direct recipients (those go in the To field).

45 and an LP? ;-)
