From U.S. Gazetteer (1990) :   [ gazetteer ]

  Micro, NC (town, FIPS 42620)
    Location: 35.56264 N, 78.20416 W

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.44 :   [ gcide ]

  Micro- \Mi"cro-\, Micr- \Mi"cr-\ . [Gr. mikro`s small.]
     A combining form signifying:
     (a) Small, little, trivial, slight; as, microcosm,
         microscope.
     (b) (Metric System, Elec., Mech., etc.) A millionth part of;
         as, microfarad, microohm, micrometer.
         [1913 Webster]

From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) :   [ jargon ]

  micro- pref. 1. Very small; this is the root of its use as a quantifier
     prefix. 2. A quantifier prefix, calling for multiplication by 10^(-6)
     {quantifiers" rel="nofollow">(see {quantifiers). Neither of these uses is peculiar to hackers, but
     hackers tend to fling them both around rather more freely than is
     countenanced in standard English. It is recorded, for example, that one
     CS professor used to characterize the standard length of his lectures as
     a microcentury -- that is, about 52.6 minutes (see also attoparsec,
     nanoacre, and especially microfortnight). 3. Personal or human-scale
     -- that is, capable of being maintained or comprehended or manipulated
     by one human being. This sense is generalized from `microcomputer', and
     is esp. used in contrast with `macro-' (the corresponding Greek prefix
     meaning `large'). 4. Local as opposed to global (or macro-). Thus a
     hacker might say that buying a smaller car to reduce pollution only
     solves a microproblem; the macroproblem of getting to work might be
     better solved by using mass transit, moving to within walking distance,
     or (best of all) telecommuting.
