Stephen,
More like 7,311,616 characters. The creator codes could be small characters or caps (except Apple reserved all lower case for itself).

Cal,
Another consideration:
Three characters allows for approximately 17,576 combinations (26*26*26).
Apple's App Store alone already has over 300,000 apps, and growing.
Three characters might have been enough in 1970 but not today.

O.K. Ken, given that there are companies in our business that have used

Sorry, Cal, I'm just not seeing the big deal with "greater than 3
character"
file extensions... but maybe it's just me...
