That's interesting.  I'd want a little convincing that it doesn't take
extra effort, maybe they'll send me one for free to test? ;-)

Usually it means "micro" in contexts where the Greek letter mu (which
looks a little like a cursive "u") can't be used.  So about 0.0001
watts.  That would make it suitable for running the most low powered
microprocessors and sensors, but not much else.
