We did "whiteboard" coding up until just a couple years ago but I've been pushing all our dev teams to switch to actual real "on computer" coding for interviews. At first there was some concern, but really, it works out a lot better. The biggest still valid objection is "it won't be setup the way they are used to and so it will take too long for them to be productive even for a toy problem". Maybe. It seems like even they are used to a different color scheme or IDE plugins or whatever they should be able to figure out a default setup enough to write a toy algorithm. Maybe not.
