I am sure that I am not the only one who will be jumping back into the win-mo pool and need a refresher / guide for hacking, and updating the roms, and the benefits of one rom or another for our new devices
Where do I go to get started, something simple, straight forward,etc . . .

So, you were probably using a Pocket PC 2002 or Windows Mobile 2003 device? Likely a 400MHz XScale processor?
Here's a random anecdote:
With Windows Mobile 6.1 you now have phone support (heh), much better Wi-Fi and networking support, many more community apps and a much better (forum) community than 5 years ago.
But... 5-6 years ago, a PPC 2002 device, for example, had plenty of muscle to emulate an SNES game like Chrono Trigger at 15-20FPS with room to spare. Now days, even with faster/more advanced processors, all the extra features have really taken a toll on Windows Mobile devices. You'll be lucky to run an NES game at 10FPS now days.
