The answer is:

B. It was written over 20 years ago, and the information might be out of date.

The article from the New York Times is not a strong source due to the fact it was written in 1995, twenty-three years ago. Since computers and technology have evolved amazingly in the latest years, the content of the writing might be obsolete in these times.
