Not familiar with the zoom H2. A DJ who had the time slot before me at the radio station years ago used a handy little thing that he would plug into the head phone jack of a cassette deck installed in the radio studio (and would put the cassette in record mode to 'hear' his show) and would record his show onto the little digital thing through the cassette deck. It was... I dunno-kinda the size of a TV remote- with a chord coming out of one end.
does your fellow DJ's gizmo look like this?-
THAT is a zoom H2. a digital chip recorder. no moving parts. superior performance to my DAT.

He left the station years ago. But that could be the thing he used.
Can a person still obtain them?

i am always interested in the scale of things, but rarely do i ever see information that conveys scale very well.
for example, i always wondered how big mt everest really looked in scale to a familiar frame of reference. then i realized that all photos of mt everest taken from the foot of it are actually showing a 10,000 -12,000 ft mountain due to the fact that the plateau it sits upon averages 15000 ft or so above sea level.
anyway, here is an idea of how big australia would look on the surface of mars.
here is how big europe would look on the surface of the moon.
i like to see the scale also of the pockmarks on the surfaces of planets that most people would not even consider.
here is a shot of the area of mars (to show overall scale) that i superimposed a picture of the new york region onto for the purpose. the area expanded is shown as a yellow rectangle.
and here is what new york area would look like within that small region above. it is translucent to show the crater sizes (insignificantly small compared to the large ones on mars) under the overlay.

well what would you like to see?
here are some of the tallest buildings side by side.
here is the burj dubai next to the sears tower.
i can do almost any building next to any other building for comparison. i have made many pictures of familiar sydney
buildings beside the world famous tallest buildings to guage what the tallest buildings would like like in scale the sydney skyline i have personally seen 1000's of times.

Any chance for comparisons between the size of Africa vs Canada and Africa vs Asian continent and Russia vs. Canada and Vancouver Island vs UK
Thanks!

Didnt realize that you programmed it yourself.
My request: put the USA on to the Moon if you please!
The Moon is about 2000 miles wide. The USA is about 3000 miles long, and a 1000 miles wide. Not sure how the US would look wrapped around the Moon's surface though.

here is a video of progressive transparencies because static images can be harder to see.
if anyone remembers the Jupiter 2 from lost in space and wonders how big it is with reference to familiar objects, here it is next to a 737
here is the millenium falcon from star wars next to the jupiter 2 and a 767 jet.
here is how big the enterprise starship is in a general earthbound environment.

That is so awesome
