OT: What's a good .iso 'fake cd drive' program?

I have a hard wooden chair that makes sitting in front of the computer for too long hurt my back. That and I can't get into reading from a screen for long periods.

I picked up the latest book which has what I look for in a good book ie. 900 pages. Hopefully it will give me something to read at least for more than a few hours. I started by reading the appendices to get info and started off bad by mistaking who was good or bad.

Can't say I am getting sold on the book. I still get confused about who is who. It's hard following 2 human empires, much better when you know for a fact one is human and the other alien. I have a sneaky suspicion I shouldn't be supporting the bad guys. also a third way through and there have only been 2 brief battles. The rest is uninteresting stuff about her dozen relatives or her relationship, as if I care.

but anyway, I post because there was an ad for a honorverse game. I just looked at the brief trailer which looks interesting. Seems like a 4X game. I might try it. You have the option to concentrate on the battles and economy and ignore the other boring stuff.

I just finished ...
March Upcountry
March to the Sea
March to the Stars
We Few

Weber wrote them with John Ringo. Just the last had any space battles, and I thought they were pretty lame, but the books themselves were great. Lots of technology verses the barbarians type of thing. Or really soldiers verses barbarians. I am becoming a Ringo fan after finising this series and one written only by him about a high tech earth fallen into a magical place. Magic with a sci fi background so it could be real. It was very good as well.
