OKAY-- I THINK ENGLISH? But now it feels like cheating to check. I will check as soon as I have sent this comment, though, because for some reason that seems less cheaty. I DON'T EVEN KNOW.
I actually do not have a mac! Our family computers were powerbooks while I was in high school, but when I went to college I got a PC because I missed them. The powercord problem crosses all boundaries: they are all equally terrible. Although I guess none of my broken PC cords have flamed. MY DAD HAS THE FANCY MAGNETIC CORDED MAC LAPTOP, though, I think that is clever design.
Funny story: a week ago I was looking at my tags, trying to find some old entry or another and I wondered why I had a tag in the misc section labeled "mulder & scully" since I don't have ship tags. And if I did, they would not be misc! But once I looked at the one entry I had it for, I realized it was a techy tag-- Mulder and Scully are my laptops. I like to name my computers things that enable terrible jokes that amuse no one but myself (No one runs Photoshop like Gaston! I can't take Mulder off the desk and into bed with me because Scully will get jealous!). Idk, when Gaston died the factory warranty was over and he was under this terrible Staples store warranty, and after taking too long and completely screwing up (he was sent in for a -- surprise -- powercord issue and they called me and told me he was dead and my data was irretrievable), they... screwed up again and sent me two replacement laptops instead of one. So: Mulder and Scully. I really don't need a tag for them by themselves, it should be misc: computer stuff or something, but Gaston had one of his own, so.
Anyway no, you are not really missing anything and I'm sorry this answer is so long and crazytalky.
