If you don't know what it's for, why do you need to fill it in?

"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).

Use the search engine of your choice -- Google or Bing, for examples -- with
this as your search term...

what does CC: mean

....and all will be revealed. As a bonus, you'll gain experience with search
engines that could be very useful going forward.

cc used to stand for "Carbon Copy" back in the day when typists had to use a
piece of carbon paper to make a copy of a document. Some use a more modern
abbreviation of pc which stands for photo copy. It essentially means you are
going to give a copy of your document to the person/company specified.

By "LP" do you mean 78 RPM or 33-1/3 RPM?... And I won't even quiz you on
16-2/3 RPM ;-)

AFAIK, "LP" always referred to 33-1/3 RPM. And the 16-2/3 RPM was only
for voice recordings because the warble would have been too much for
music.
 
And wasn't Alvin and the Chipmunks created by playing a 45 RPM record at 78
RPM?

And for those that don't know, the BCC field is

Blind Carbon Copy

where you put recipients' email addresses to keep the addresses confidential
from other recipients of the email (recipients of the cannot see the
addresses in the BBC field). Some users need to use it!
 
<snort> You don't win the prize until you owned a record player that had 4
speeds and can name them. I didn't use the slowest speed much but I owned
records that needs the other three. We still have a player at home but the
stylus is probably shot at this point. None of the spindle adapters tho.
 
The slowest speed was 16 2/3, and it was used for what were then called
"talking books" (for the blind). The speed was too slow for high-fidelity
music reproduction but adequate for the spoken word (in the same way that
telephone sound quality in those days was just adequate for comprehension).

And the fastest wasn't 78 - it was 80!
Yes, we had a record that played at speed 80 AND we had a "radiogram" that
would play at speed 80...
 
The BBC used to distribute series to various overseas broadcaster around the
World on 12" LPs running at 16 2/3. I remember playing a few of them when I
was in Singapore and I wish I had hung on to them as there were some real
classics like Round the Horne and The Navy Lark.

i.e. CC = complimentary copy.
