Re: file extensions on mac files

I'm a Mac person and I never thought it was even a question.
Why I just type the extension in like file.jpg or file.mpeg.
The question I always ask was why did the computer put
an extra extension on my file ? (like file.jpg.jpg)

Still trying to get use to those damn PC's.
