Did Apple Cut Owners Of Decade Old G3 Macs Out Of The Itunes Store

A reader tipped us that Apple may have cut older versions of iTunes that are compatible with G3 Macs out of the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store used to work fine on iTunes 8.2.1, our tipster writes, but as of recently the store would refuse to open.
