Notes
From the donor, Loren Cody:
When I started working at EA, they had just moved into their new headquarters, and due to the size and complexity of the buildings, each room, even if it were a storage room, had to have a name. One storage room in particular had a large, circular window in the door. It is unknown as to why it had a window or why it was circular, but during that time a very popular movie had swept the Oscars. It was made by James Cameron and it was about a lot of people who went down on a boat of on an enormously large size for its time. And that’s why the room had the name on this plaque. Eventually, the room was torn down and modified to make way for more space, so I asked if I could have the room plaque when it was taken down, simply because it made me laugh every time I looked at it, and because I thought I’d share the story someday. Now I have.
