Disappointed with Cyclone III FPGA Development Kit

I agree with TommyThorn on this kit, however, my disappointment right now is more related to having some working examples to use. I am new to the FPGA development area and I figured this would be a good way to get my feet wet working with example hardware with working examples to understand the interaction better. Examples for this board are minimal to say the least and don't even cover all of the components of the kit. I also understand that there is at least a design flaw for the 7 segment led. You would think that Altera's testing of the kit would have proven that out early on.
