The list is huge.

Go to finaldraft.com and check it out.

People used to salt all meat and store it in woodsheds.  Does that mean
refrigerators are a waste of money?

People used to drive around on horses.  When was the last time you rode a
horse to work?

People used to talk on the phone and write handwritten letters.  Why are you
emailing this list when you could go back to old trusted way and give us all
a phone call?  Is it because you want to...SAVE TIME?

Screenwriters used to use typewriters.  Why bother with even Word?

Studios like FinalDraft.  Writers do to.  Direct WGA Registration is one
small thing Word won't do.  But the list is huge.
