I've been wondering about this more in recent years.  I don't know
that I even consider it a plus anymore, though it's not a minus.  I
think you can make non-geeks understand what you do for a living and
what your problems are without having a CS degree; in some ways, that
keeps a person honest.  Sometimes, if I can talk shop, I will, and I
don't find that particularly appealing.  (I console myself be going
out with medical professionals every once in awhile - they're a *lot*
worse about shop talk :-)
