Tuning fork was Traveling with tools

I always carry my tuning fork in my pocket (for consistent body temp) and
use it to check the calibration of my laptop. Twice I have found that if the
laptop went into hibernation mode with Tunelab running, when I woke it up
the calibration had slipped almost a semitone. Twice I told the customer
that this was going to be a pitch raise, and one of those times I actually
started raising the pitch before getting a funny feeling that the laptop
might be wrong. Weird but true. The tuning fork is a great reassurance to
both me and the customers.
