Thanks for the feedback about the font size on my web site. I wasn't aware that anyone had a problem with it till now. I'll look into it. Perhaps you could let me know what your screen resolution is set to, or anything else that you feel might be relevant. Is the font too small on all of the pages? Time is short right now but in the near future I'll try to come up with a generic solution. In the meantime, the content is available as a PDF download from the site, or can be sent out via email.

As for the use of generating random numbers, well almost any use really. For example, someone might simulate rolling a dice in their program, generating numbers in the range 1 to 6, or have an array of character strings and generate them seemingly at random by generating a random number within the range of valid indexes for the array. A lottery program might generate numbers using rand(). Almost anything you can think of, but remember that the random number generators that ship with compilers are usually pretty basic and not adequate for serious applications, e.g. scientific or crypto use. Better generators are available.
