At a previous job, we did code reviews from hard-copy. It enabled us
to get half a dozen or so people sitting around a table, reading the code
and talking about it.
Certainly the technology exists to do the same kind of thing from soft
copy, but realistically most employers aren't willing to deploy the
resources to give everyone net-connected laptops, or to put multiple
PCs in each conference room. Anything other than face-to-face
discussion (for example, doing code reviews by e-mail) loses the rapid
interaction.
(Of course, there were no use clauses in the C code we were reviewing
-- or, if you prefer, it was full of nasty implicit ones.)

One of the great tragedies of ancient history is that Helen of Troy
lived before the invention of the champagne bottle.
