Yup, that's how I remember seeing it from an old VHS film who's title eludes me now. They offer an operating system to IBM which they have none at the time, so they frantically search for one which lead them to this you called hacker. I wonder how true this film was? They have a colorful history with Macintosh or now know as mac.
