Yeah... not really. Never happened.
In the 90s, the canonical hacker computers were Amigas and Ataris. And soon thereafter, Windows PC, during the Windows 3 -> 95 transition.
Or if you want to go back another decade, Apple ][ and C64. Now these were the ultimate hacker computers.
Macs at the time were mostly used to create newspapers, slideshows and graphical assets. We're talking MacIntosh and Mac+, here. You never saw these in LAN parties, trust me.
