Yup. Walked over the old rail high bridge at Poughkeepsie one cold
COLD windy day wearing a windbreaker. Froze to death. Colder than the
arctic survival camp out week I did in the Boy Scouts years ago when we
lived in Anchorage. Great view.
OK. Sign. back on topic.
Jim S mentioned doing a SMC Reset.
I should have mentioned that and I'm glad Jim did.
The SMC is the System Management Controller. It deals with a variety
of things but many have to do with sleep, power management, and more.
Doing the reset sometimes makes a dead Mac come to life. No guarantees
but always worth a try and it's easy to do as Jim showed in his
response.

Does this model Mac have one of those small internal batteries that cause this symptom when they go flat?
Or am I thinking of ancient history?

Take the battery out noting the wires and proceed to Batteries Plus (or
similar) store for a new battery. most of the apc's use awerker WKA12-9F2
NOTE: THE 9F2 may vary

CMOS battery? That keeps the BIOS settings, tinme, etc, if that goes flat it just means the BIOS or Mac equivalent, time, is reset to probably years ago. In the PC world that won't cause a dead computer

Many Mac models ago a dead batterywould cause a "no boot". Dunno about current models...

YAY!!!
I took the computer's power cord from the UPS unit (with an expired battery) to a power strip nearby, and the computer turned right back on!
The Mac is Back!!
...now it's time to replace the battery in that UPS unit! Lol!

Just a heads up for those of you using 1Password v3 on iOS and synching with Dropbox.
From September 1st Dropbox will be using a new , more secure API which means 1Password v3 for iOS will no longer sync to Dropbox. They are currently offering a low upgrade price to v4. All is explained here: http://blog.agilebits.com/2013/08/08/1password-3-dropbox-sync-faq/

I've lost track of the way to make Safari act as if it is a Windows browser. Seems to me it was an option under an 'Advanced' menu, but darned if I can find it in Safari 6.0.5.
My town has installed on their home site a link to an application called AppGeo which allows detailed graphic view of the Assessor's database, but it is only partially functional under Safari. If I use Firefox as a browser most of the app (so far) seems to function OK, but I would like to use it under Safari.
The company that supplies it apparently says it "...works best with Internet Explorer 8 or higher." Does that sound familiar? I'l be pursuing that with the company but, in the meantime, how would I adjust Safari as described above?
Thanks,

*I* remember that one -- it's "User Agent" in the Developer menu.
What *I* don't remember is how to activate the Developer menu....
I probably could Google that....

If it said IE 8 or better, you could claim you're already doing that, you're using Safari....
Found it: Safari Preferences -- Advanced -- check "Show Develop menu in menu bar."

Note that this cannot make Safari behave exactly like IE. What it does is
tell websites you visit that they should act as if the browser is IE, not
Safari.
Of course, none of this should be necessary: every website should obey W3C
standards and not behave any differently with different browsers.

I agree, Otto. Running Safari as if it were IE8 resulted in an experience in which things seemed to go well, but then everything became unstable (displayed maps shrank to point sources, searches were erratic, etc.) I'll try talking to the app provider tomorrow and see what I learn.

Just a comment, really, but so did the earlier Airport Extreme (mine is one of those square ones). I have a guest network.
