I finally treated myself to a Diamond, and for the little bit I understand about it I really love it!
However, I am tech retarded and most of the stuff you guy/gals on here talk about is currently WAY over my head 
Soooo....is there a remedial PPCing area on here somewhere that explains the very basic type information so I can begin to understand what all this is about??
Much Thanks,

Welcome!
It all depends on what you want to accomplish with your device. It obviously has much potential, but each person has his or her own likes and dislikes, I could sit here and recommend installing all these apps and flashing to xyz ROM, but my ROM preference is my own... and my app preference is also my own... So you might not like the things that I do on my diamond. With all that said, I'll give you a few links to get you started and you can take it from there. I do suggest that you read up on the entire processes before doing anything. The biggest thing is to not be afraid of messing it up, it only holds you back.
First off you will want to Check out
this post. It has a lot of the terms explained. It also explains in great detail how to go about unlocking and flashing your new toy.
Then I suggest you check out the radio thread
here. Radio is a separate part of the ROM. It will change the way the radio works, in a way that could benefit your battery life and radio signal, there's no good or bad one here, because they vary per your location. The battery life improves if you have a better signal because it's not trying as hard to hold it.
Then after that, just look for various .cab files that can either add apps or make changes to your device to configure it the way you like it.
