My take:

Demos should show what the HW can do and how good it is
understood by the coder.

So REAL demos only run on fixed HW like C64,A500,A1200 or
Phase5-PPC+Permedia. Consoles of every type are also quite good
for it. Demos on PC or CGX/P96 sounds even more useless than
demos allready are.

Don't have th HW ? Use a emu, or watch the mpg.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
