It came as a surprise to me when Emory law professor Matt Lawrence mentioned it on a discussion list, but D.C. Circuit Judge Douglas Ginsburg had an interesting background as noted in his biography:
Judge Ginsburg took a break from college in the mid-1960s and established a nationwide computer-dating service called Operation Match. The company facilitated blind dates for a fee using computerized data collected from questionnaires….
This service was reportedly the first computerized dating service in the U.S.
