Doctor Robby/ the head librarian plays Jobs, IIRC

And I vaguely remember Bill Gates stealing the idea for "the mouse" hardware device from a dumpster (which I believe is close to how it really happened)

I remember watching that when it aired on cable TV back in the day, and it was one of those movies where you tried to remember the name for years (pre-imdb) and then you find it again because it somehow became a cult classic (even though I'm pretty sure it never went to print)

Anyway, I do have a copy. Been a while since I watched it, tho
