Itunes Store On G4 is Kaput

[hwydude]

Sad G4 locked out of using Itunes Store. Add comes up to download itunes 10 which I am sure requires intel not G4

You probably don't have Leopard, I'm assuming.

I find it interesting how you can still run the latest iTunes on a 10 year old XP box, and yet old OS X users are now finding it next to impossible.

I do wish Apple would support their products for longer. I really do.

What I don't get is why Apple would care what version of iTunes you are running if you are just purchasing music off their store or any other content your version is compatible with.
