Doesn't "miced" mean you have little ctitters running around the house?

I only began noticing the use of "mic" as a short name for microphone
relatively recently (several years). Seems to me it always, when I was
growing up and even into my adulthood, was a "mike," different from the
nickname for Michael only in its lower case 'm.' I had to look twice at
Tim's sentence above to realize that "miced" was not a typo and that this
spelling is the logical past tense of "mic" used a s a verb. But it sure
seems odd! Is this now an accepted form and spelling? I guess I'm showing my
age (I'm not yet old enough to retire), but it seems like "mike" and "miked"
were clearer.

Sorry. I had nothing better to do right now.
