Incredible is a series of screen savers where you experience a
variety of incredibly wonderful views. It provides not only
animations but also sound effects. A major difference between
Incredible and other screen savers is that
Incredible is designed from the point of art - It is a life art!
In this park, Fog, You will explore wonderful fog views.

background sound in its setup screen - a FREE sound package, soundbk.zip, is available

you Text, Voice, Picture, and even Movie), Task Scheduler
