11. Okay, well, if you're happy, great. But point of fact you absolutely can watch Prime

on a Mac computer.

If you're interested, pay close attention here, this gets complex ...

1) Navigate (or 'surf') to Amazon.com in a 'browser'. Some common browsers are known as 'Safari', and 'Chrome'.
2) Now ... 'Sign In' to Amazon.com on your browser program, if it doesn't happen automatically when you visit the website, which it might. What you want is to see your name in the upper right of the browser there. Something like "Hello, multigraincracker'. You may have to do something on your phone (or maybe your wife's?) to facilitate this Sign-In process.
3) Once you've Signed In, look for a 'toolbar' in your browser window. It will be just underneath the Header section, that's the one with the Search Box. In the toolbar, there should be a link there saying 'Prime Video'. Click that.

Et Voila ... Prime Video ... on your Mac.

Feel free to ask, if you have any questions. I should be around all the evening
