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.
