"The bottom of my notebook computer gets very warm, but it only happens when it's plugged in. Is something wrong with my computer or my AC adapter?"
Answered June 17th - Most mobile processors run at top speed when connected to AC power. When you unplug the AC, the display dims and the processor slows down to conserve the battery. Running at top speed generates more heat. If you usually run your laptop on AC power, you might want to invest in a cooling pad, which slides underneath and has a USB-powered fan for extra cooling. Well-built cooling pads, such as the
Belkin Laptop Cooling Pad (available in black or white), usually cost $30 - $50. If the bottom of your notebook PC is too warm to rest comfortably on your lap, Belkin's $30
Laptop CushDesk is ideal for using a portable computer while resting on a sofa or sitting up in bed.

"I am new to Windows Vista. I tried to send an email using Microsoft Mail with a BCC addressee, but there's no BCC field, just CC. Why did Microsoft remove the BCC field?"
Answered June 17th - Microsoft didn't remove the BCC field, but it's not easy to find. Press "Create Mail" in Microsoft Mail to create a new message. Next, go to the Main Menu, select "View" and enable "All Headers," the first item on the drop-down menu. The BCC field should appear.
