I don't see much of a point in dell - it seems to be used for all manner of things that really aren't Dell-specific, from networking issues to power problems to OS-specific questions to power manageme …

pop as referring to the mail protocol isn't a bad tag. It definitely shouldn't mean "Post Office Protocol" and "pop-ups" at the same time, though. There is already a much more widely-used pop3 (>170 q …

I just did a Google search for adb, and the first results I got that were at all relevant to computers were about the Android Debug Bridge. As DavidPostill notes in the comments, though, there's also …

I don't know who did most of the retagging, but I just nulled the null tag from the last six questions that had it. RIP null: 2010-2016.
