I have a question, what are these turtles you guys are talking about and how do I get one?

I've been pretty much lost this whole thread. My friend and I's first diamonds went to diamond drills...

Turtles are part of ComputerCraft.
They are like robots. You can program them using the lua language, its easy to learn if you understand the basic concepts of programming.
If you don't want to learn programming you could find programs on the internet.
You can add tools to turtles to allow them to mine , chop, attack etc.

If its something you want to learn you SethBling has been doing a youtube video series on programming the turtles.
I haven't watched them all but he usually explains things well. He was a programmer before he quit to play minecraft full time.. its alwasy good to learn from someone with experince
here is his playlist. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2Qvl4gaBge02Eh4AqtDSWg3sojt3jeRO
