| 0:00.0 | I'm Jane Pauley. You're listening to an extended interview from the latest edition of Sunday morning. |
| 0:16.3 | Well, first of all, congratulations, 50 years. That's very cool. Yeah. |
| 0:20.8 | A wise man once said Apple doesn't look for, doesn't look back, we look forward. |
| 0:25.9 | That's right. |
| 0:26.9 | But is there wisdom to be gleaned by taking a moment to contemplate this arc so far? |
